00 minIngredients
4 cups shredded vegetables (see note)
Kosher salt
3 scallions or ½ small onion, minced
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
1 cup chickpea flour
1 clove garlic, minced
3 large eggs, beaten
¼ cup unflavored almond milk (or other milk of choice)
1 tsp. ground cumin
½ tsp. turmeric
½ tsp. cayenne, optional
Freshly ground black pepper
Avocado oil or ghee, for frying
Directions
-
Place shredded vegetables in a colander, toss with 1 tablespoon kosher salt, and let stand for 10 minutes to drain. Rinse and squeeze well in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
-
Transfer shredded vegetables to a medium bowl and add scallions, cilantro, chickpea flour, garlic, eggs, almond milk, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne (if desired). Season with ½ to 1 tsp. salt and ¼ to ½ teaspoon pepper.
-
Have ready a paper-towel-lined plate. Warm 4 Tbsp. avocado oil or ghee in a frying pan over medium heat. Spoon heaping tablespoons of fritter mixture into the warm oil, spread into 3-inch patties and cook for about 5 minutes, until deep golden brown on the bottom. Carefully flip and cook 3 to 4 minutes longer. Place on lined plate to drain. Serve warm.
