Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup grated zucchini
- 1 cup grated carrot
- 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, carrot, bell peppers, and onion. Squeeze excess moisture from the zucchini. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
