- 1 zucchini
- 2 carrots
- 1 red onion
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cold water
- to taste salt
Tools
- Air Fryer
Steps
To prepare the Korean vegetable pancakes, first wash a zucchini, remove the ends, cut it in half and then into strips. Peel the carrots, remove the ends, and cut them into strips as well. Finally, slice a red onion.
In a bowl, pour the water and gradually add the flour; add a pinch of salt and stir with a hand whisk until a smooth and homogeneous batter is obtained. Add the vegetables and mix them into the batter.
Line the basket of the air fryer with a sheet of parchment paper without holes; place a few spoonfuls of vegetables and compact them to create fritters. Cook them in the air fryer at 392 degrees Fahrenheit for 17 minutes, turning them over when there are 5 minutes left to brown the other side well. I cooked 4 at a time, just as if I were frying them in a pan.
Serve the Korean pancakes hot or cold: they are delicious both ways. You can also season them with a few drops of soy sauce or eat them as they are, like I did. Enjoy your meal.
Tips for You
✔ To cook the Korean vegetable pancakes in an air fryer it is necessary to use parchment paper without holes: this way the liquid mixture will not drip below and you will achieve a real fry.
✔ As you have seen, just one spray of olive oil is enough: they will be even lighter and have the same taste as those fried in a pan, but without the same fats and calories as those immersed in boiling oil.
✔ The oil sprayer I used is available in supermarkets. I recommend one of these because their spray is truly nebulizing and controlled, besides being really excellent. You can find some by clicking here. Alternatively, you can purchase the spray bottle that you can fill yourself with the oil you prefer. I leave you the link of a great sprayer here.
✔ Korean vegetable pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days; alternatively, you can form the pancakes, place them on parchment paper, and store them in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 1 month and cook them later.
✔ For this recipe, I used the COSORI Dual Blaze 6.4 L air fryer, with upper and lower heating elements. You can find it here: link.
