Ingredients

• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 medium carrot
• 3 stalks scallions (green onions)
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and grate the zucchini and carrot. Squeeze out excess moisture from the grated vegetables using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 2

Finely chop the scallions and set them aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, carrot, and chopped scallions.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and salt.

Step 5

Add the dry ingredients to the vegetables and mix until well coated.

Step 6

In another small bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. Pour the egg mixture into the vegetable-flour mixture and stir until combined. The batter should be thick but scoopable.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.

Step 8

Using a tablespoon or small scoop, drop portions of the batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon to form fritter shapes.

Step 9

Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if needed.

Step 10

Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 11

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!
