Veggie Fritters

Fritters are such a great way to get veggies into kids. These veggie fritters are wonderful for baby-led weaning, little toddlers or even school lunch boxes. They taste great and kids love them too.

Traditionally, I’ve always made veggie fritters with mashed potato or kumara, however I found the whole process very time-consuming. Like so many other parents out there, I want to feed my kids healthy food, but have very little time to prepare it. If you’re like me, you will love these fritters because they are super easy to make.

If you’ve read any of my blog before, you will know that I have two kids that can’t tolerate egg or gluten, so I have made two versions of the veggie fritters and you can use whichever one suits you.

Please don’t feel you have to follow the recipe 100%, and I encourage you to use whatever veggies you have on hand.  You could also add cooked bacon, ham or chicken if you wanted to. The important thing here is that you want to aim for about 1.5 cups worth of veggies.
