‘Fritter’ Articles at Sweetnicks

These cute little zucchini fritters are a delicious way to get those servings of green vegetables in.

I’m of the school of thought that you can put most things in a fritter and it can taste good. I’m of the same school of thought that vegetable fritters are a good way to get kids to eat vegetables. They look slightly less icky this way. If you’re a seven year old.

So there’s that.

And so it was with these fritters and an evening that my kids ate zucchini.

I also feel like zucchini is kind of like cauliflower. It doesn’t really have an overwhelming taste on its own, so is more ~~easy to hide~~ palatable, which makes it a little more kid-friendly if your kids give vegetables the side eye.

This is also a super forgiving recipe. It would be just as awesome with a little shredded carrot added in, or even potatoes. I served them alongside steak on one night, and grilled chicken the next. Put a runny egg on it and you have a perfect light dinner or lunch all by itself. A friend suggested having them with a yogurt dipping sauce.

However you serve them, you can’t go wrong.

Looking for a new way to make sweet potatoes? These light and easy fritters might be just what you’re after.

Sweet potatoes are one of those things that I don’t give a lot of thought to preparing. It’s either baked and served with butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon…. Or roasted.

But how about we turn it on its ear and look at it in a completely different way?

Like a fritter?

And one that’s healthy to boot?

This is that.

And how about a healthy sweet potato fritter that takes ten minutes to make, start to finish?

I’m not sure it gets much better.

The process couldn’t be simpler, and is totally open to customization. Once you have the basic premise down … shred one potato, add an egg, and spices and pan fry … you can make many different riffs of it based on your particular tastes or cravings. To counterbalance the slightly sweet taste of the sweet potato, I stuck with smoky and spicy seasonings. Cumin and chili powder. But your add-ins are limited only to your imagination.

After a meeting last night, I wasn’t especially hungry, Maddie wanted waffles, and Nick had already eaten. So a few of these fritters, topped with a runny egg, made a perfect light and quick meal for me.

These fritters are slightly similar, but add zucchini and coconut flour to keep it this side of something different.
