Why I Love this Recipe

Fritters are an effective way to make use of up veggies which are nearly on their manner out.

You may grate nearly any veggie mixture, combine it with some spices, egg, and flour and fry these infants up like there’s no tomorrow. Simple peasy.

Fritters additionally rework the veggies. Full disclosure, I’m not the largest zucchini fan. I do know, veggie blasphemy.

Add your spices and/or herbs of alternative and voila! You’ve obtained your fritter batter.
