Prepare the Vegetables:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F).
Grate the zucchini, potato, and carrots. Place them in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
Mix the Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated vegetables with the chopped spring onions.
Add the garlic powder, cinnamon powder, pepper, chili powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
Gradually add the corn starch to the vegetable mixture, stirring until well combined. The corn starch will help bind the mixture together.
Form the Fritters:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Using your hands, form the vegetable mixture into small patties or fritters and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake the Fritters:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
Bake for 30 minutes, flipping the fritters halfway through the baking time, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Serve:
Remove the fritters from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side of fresh salad.
Serving Suggestions:
These fritters are delicious with a side of yogurt or sour cream dip, or a tangy tomato sauce.
Serve them as an appetizer, side dish, or even a light main course with a salad.
