Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. Vegetable oil, for frying
  2. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  3. One 8.5-ounce box cornmeal muffin mix
  4. 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  5. Kosher salt
  6. One 12-ounce can seltzer water
  7. 1 bunch baby broccoli
  8. 8 ounces green beans, trimmed
  9. 8 ounces whole okra
  10. 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  11. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  12. 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  13. 1 tablespoon sriracha
  14. 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Instructions

  1. Fill a Dutch oven a little less than halfway with the oil. Bring to 375 degrees F over medium-high heat. Place a cooling rack on a baking sheet.
  2. Whisk the flour, muffin mix, cornstarch and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the seltzer, trying to avoid any lumps, and stopping when your mixture is a touch thinner than pancake batter. Add the vegetables to the batter one type at a time—the vegetables will all have different cooking times—and toss to coat. Add the vegetables to the oil a few at a time. Fry, turning frequently, until they are golden brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to the cooling rack and repeat with the remaining vegetables. Sprinkle with salt as they come out of the oil.
  3. Stir together the mayonnaise, chives, lemon, sriracha and ginger in a small bowl. Serve the veggie fritters hot with the chive dipping sauce.
