Veggie Fritters

Healthy Kids recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium zucchini

  • 1 small sweet potato (or 1 cup finely grated)

  • 1 carrot

  • 1 clove garlic - diced

  • ½ cup corn kernels

  • 2 eggs

  • 2/3 cup chickpea flour (can use plain wholemeal flour instead)

  • Salt/pepper to taste

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil for frying

Method:

  1. Grate the carrots, sweet potato and zucchini on a fine setting. Squeeze the grated vegies with your hands to get rid of excess water

  2. Place paper towel on a plate, then add the grated vegies - to absorb more water. You can also use extra sheets of paper towel placed on top.

  3. Then place in a mixing bowl and add the diced garlic and corn, mix well until combined

  4. Beat 2 eggs then stir through. Finally add the flour and mix until combined. If the mixture is still too wet, add a little more flour.

  5. Add salt/pepper to taste

  6. In a large frying pan, heat olive oil on medium heat.

  7. Using a dessert spoon or ice cream scoop, scoop up the mixture and drop into the pan.

  8. Flatten slightly with a fork / spatula. Fry for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side then transfer to plate lined with paper towel
