Gluten-Free Carrot Zucchini Fritters

Ingredients

• 2 carrots, grated
• 1 zucchini, grated
• 1/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/3 cup water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for frying

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine grated carrots, zucchini, gluten-free flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, cumin, pepper and water. Stir until all the ingredients are well-combined.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet.
3. Using a spoon, scoop the mixture into the skillet and flatten them into fritters. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to adjust the heat to medium-low if the fritters are cooking too quickly.
