Tips

  • Eat different coloured vegetables every day to get a variety of nutrients.
  • Choose vegetables in season as they will be cheaper, tastier and better quality.
  • Orange vegetables like carrots and sweet potato are good sources of beta carotene. Beta carotene is converted in the body to vitamin A. Vitamin A supports your immune system.

  • This is a great way to use leftover vegetables you have in the fridge.
  • Leftover fritters can be frozen.

  • Buy ‘Odd Bunch’, ‘I’m Perfect’ or ‘Imperfect Picks’ vegetables to save money.
  • Buying in bulk can help save money. A larger packet of flour may be cheaper.

Method

Step 1
Mix the vegetables, eggs and flour in a bowl.

Step 2
Heat the oil in a large non-stick frypan. Place dollops of the mixture in the pan and flatten a little with a spatula. Cook for a few minutes each side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towel.

Serving suggestion: serve with our tzatziki  or Mexican salsa.

Food safety tip: if you are taking leftovers for lunch, fritters need to be kept cold so pack an ice brick.
