The baked vegetable fritters are an easy, quick and delicious recipe. I love simple and tasty vegetable dishes, so I combined potatoes, zucchini and carrots and prepared some delightful little fritters that are not fried but baked in the oven (or in the air fryer) with very little oil. Savory, crunchy and tasty, these baked vegetable fritters are perfect as a side dish, appetizer or a vegetarian and even vegan main course — you can make them in less than 10 minutes without eggs and kids will love them; my daughters adored them!

Steps
Baked vegetable fritters are super easy and very quick to prepare. First, clean the vegetables and grate them using a coarse grater (the one you use to grate cheese into flakes). I used two small carrots, two small potatoes and one medium zucchini — in total, the vegetables should weigh about 3 1/2 cups (already cleaned).
Pat the vegetables dry with paper towels to remove excess liquid, then add salt, black pepper, spices to taste (I used a mix of herbs) and all-purpose flour, mixing everything well.
Scoop a little of the mixture with a spoon and form the fritters, flattening the mixture with your hands.
Place the baked vegetable fritters on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper lightly oiled, spray (or brush) them with a little oil and bake in a preheated oven at 392°F for about 20 minutes.
Tips:
Baked vegetable fritters can be kept at room temperature for a few hours or in the fridge for a couple of days. For an even tastier version, you can add some grated Parmesan cheese to the mixture. For a gluten-free version, use rice flour.
