Combining the earthiness of beets, the sweetness of carrots, and the zing of ginger, these fritters are sure to be a hit at any meal. Let's get cooking!
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds and water. Stir well and set aside for about 10-15 minutes until the mixture forms a gel-like consistency. This will act as a binding agent for the fritters.
- While the chia seeds are soaking, grate the carrots and beet using a box grater or food processor with a grating blade. Transfer the grated vegetables to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the grated ginger root and minced garlic to the bowl with the grated vegetables. Mix well to combine.
- Once the chia seed mixture is ready, add it to the bowl with the vegetables, followed by the white rice flour and a dash of salt. Mix everything together thoroughly to form a cohesive batter.
- Take small handfuls of the mixture and shape them into patties or fritters, pressing gently to ensure they hold together. Aim for about 2-3 inches in diameter and around 1/2 inch thick.
- Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the fritters to the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd it. Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve the fritters warm, as a side dish, appetizer, or even in a sandwich.
Tips:
- Grate the vegetables finely.: Ensure that the carrots, beet, and ginger are grated finely. This helps the fritters bind better and gives them an even texture.
- Activate the chia seeds.: Mix the chia seeds with water and let them sit for about 10 minutes. This creates a gel-like consistency that helps bind the fritters together.
- Use a non-stick pan.: To prevent the fritters from sticking and to use less oil, cook them in a non-stick pan.
- Don't overcrowd the pan.: Cook the fritters in batches to ensure they are evenly cooked and crispy.
- Pat the grated beet dry.: Beets tend to release a lot of moisture. Pat them dry with a paper towel to prevent the batter from becoming too wet.
These Vegan Beet, Ginger, and Carrot Fritters are a delightful and nutritious addition to any meal. They're simple to make and can be enjoyed by everyone, whether you're vegan or just looking to incorporate more plant-based dishes into your diet. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce or a fresh side salad for a complete meal. Enjoy!
