• ½ tsp baking powder

• Oil for frying

Directions

1. Prepare the Veggies
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrot, chopped onion, bell pepper, and parsley. Toss lightly to blend.

2. Mix the Base
   Add the shredded cheese, eggs, salt, pepper, and baking powder. Stir well until everything is coated.

3. Add the Flour
   Gradually add flour, mixing until a thick batter forms. It should hold together but not be too dry.

4. Heat the Oil
   In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 1 inch of oil over medium heat. Drop a small spoonful of batter in to test—it should sizzle immediately.

5. Fry the Fritters
   Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, flattening slightly. Fry in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.

6. Drain and Serve
   Remove fritters and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
