Crispy Vegan Vegetable Fritters
🌱 Crispy Vegan Vegetable Fritters 🥬
These Crispy Vegan Vegetable Fritters are golden stacks of shredded vegetables, herbs, and a little binder, pan-fried until the edges blister. Red pepper, zucchini, and onion show through every bite. They’re the weeknight fritter you eat with a squeeze of lemon or a dollop of vegan yogurt.
I love how they use up whatever vegetables are in the drawer. Squeeze them dry, mix, fry. That’s dinner. 💚

The Secret to Fritters That Aren’t Soggy
Squeeze the shredded vegetables until almost no liquid comes out. Wet batter steams instead of crisping. Chickpea flour holds them together without eggs. Don’t crowd the pan, and leave them alone until the first side is deep golden.
Frequently Asked Questions ❓
Can I bake them? 🔥
Yes. Brush with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping once. They won’t be quite as crisp.
What vegetables work best? 🥬
Zucchini, carrot, onion, cabbage, and bell pepper. Mix what you have.
How do I keep leftovers crisp? 🧊
Reheat in a skillet or air fryer. The microwave makes them soft.
