- Cooking: 30 minutes
- Total: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 zucchini, grated
- 1 potato, grated
- 80 grams carrots, grated
- 25 grams spring onions, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- Pepper to taste
- Chili powder to taste
- 1/3 teaspoon salt
- 80 grams corn starch
Directions:
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F).
- Grate the zucchini, potato, and carrots. Place them in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated vegetables with the chopped spring onions.
- Add the garlic powder, cinnamon powder, pepper, chili powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.

- Using your hands, form the vegetable mixture into small patties or fritters and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Bake the Fritters:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 30 minutes, flipping the fritters halfway through the baking time, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side of fresh salad.
