Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms.
-
Add the grated zucchini, diced bell peppers, scallions, parsley, and cheddar cheese to the batter. Mix everything together until the vegetables are evenly distributed.
-
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Drop spoonfuls of the fritter batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
-
Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
-
Once the fritters are cooked, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
-
Serve the Caribbean Vegetable Fritters warm, garnished with additional chopped scallions or a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
