Who doesn’t love a fritter? There’s something great about that crispy on the outside, soft in the middle texture. If you’re tired of boiling or roasting your veg, these easy gluten-free vegetable fritters with sweetcorn, peas, carrot and spring onion are such a simple and tasty alternative. This recipe makes approx 10-12 nutritious veggie-packed bites. They’ll be ready to eat in just 25 minutes.
These little nuggets of goodness are also the perfect way to use up any leftover vegetables you might have lurking in the back of the fridge or freezer. I tend to stick with the base of sweetcorn and spring onion. They definitely provide the most flavour to the fritters. But, grated or finely chopped courgette, broccoli or red pepper could easily be used in place of the other veggies.
What to Serve with Vegetable Fritters
Fritters are made for dipping! Try with a side of creamy guacamole, hummus or good old ketchup. If making as part of a main meal, they’ll go perfectly with rice, quinoa or new potatoes and some fresh salad. But they can also be enjoyed as a satisfying snack!
Do they keep well?
For the best and crispiest texture, eat when freshly fried. However, leftover fritters can be kept in the fridge for about 3-4 days, or in the freezer for up to a month. When ready to eat, simply pop in the oven until heated through and this should help to crisp them up.
I hope you’re inspired to give these a go! If you enjoy making these veggie fritters, don’t forget to take a snap of your creations and tag us on Instagram @BlueSkyEating. We’d love to see how you get on. 🙂
