Tips

  • With vegetables and wholemeal flour, this recipe is a good source of fibre. Eating a diet high in fibre can help reduce your risk of bowel cancer.
  • Eggs provide protein. Protein is important for children’s growth and development.
  • Sweetcorn provides folate. Folate helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.

  • Leftover fritters can be stored in the fridge.
  • Leftover dill can be wrapped in a clean damp cloth and stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Wash it before you use it.

  • Buy ‘Odd Bunch’, ‘I’m Perfect’ or ‘Imperfect Picks’ zucchinis and capsicum to save money.
  • Eggs provide a low cost, easy to prepare source of protein.
  • To save money try growing your own herb, like dill, in the garden or in pots.

Method

Step 1
Place the zucchini, corn, capsicum, eggs, Parmesan, dill and flour in a bowl. Mix well.

Step 2
Grease a large fry pan with olive oil and heat over a medium heat.

Step 3
Working in batches, fill an ice-cream scoop (or large spoon) with the mixture and drop onto the pan.

Step 4
Flatten the fritters out slightly with a spoon. Cook for approximately 4 minutes or until brown, flip and continue to cook until that side is brown and cooked through.

Serving suggestion: serve with minty yoghurt dip.

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