Equipment

  • Equipment Needed: Mixing bowl, frying pan, spatula, measuring cups, and spoons.

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • Basic Ingredients:
  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup of water adjust as needed for batter consistency
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder optional
  • 1 cup of mixed vegetables finely chopped (e.g., zucchini, bell peppers, carrots, and spinach)
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or basil, chopped (optional)
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables
  • Chop the Vegetables: Start by finely chopping your chosen vegetables. If you’re using denser veggies like carrots, you might want to grate them for easier mixing.
  • Remove Excess Water: If using vegetables with high water content (like zucchini), sprinkle a bit of salt on them and let them sit for about 10 minutes. Then, squeeze out the excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
  • Step 2: Make the Batter
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Add Water: Gradually add the water, stirring until you achieve a smooth, thick batter. You want it to be pourable but not too runny—adjust the water as necessary.
  • Step 3: Mix in the Vegetables
  • Fold in the Vegetables: Gently fold the chopped vegetables and herbs into the batter until they are well-coated.
  • Step 4: Heat the Oil
  • Heat the Oil: In a frying pan, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into the pan. If it sizzles, the oil is hot enough.
  • Step 5: Fry the Frittelle
  • Form the Fritters: Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter mixture into the hot oil. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon.
  • Cook Until Golden: Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan; work in batches if necessary.
  • Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  • Step 6: Serve
  • Serve Warm: These fritters are best enjoyed warm. Serve them with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as yogurt or marinara.
  • Variations
  • Cheese: Add grated Parmesan or mozzarella for a cheesy twist.
  • Spices: Experiment with different spices like paprika or cayenne for a kick.
  • Gluten-Free: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
