9 Veggie Fritters for a Quick Snack
Posted by
onThey’re cute. They’re fun. They’re delicious both hot and cold, and they make for a great quick snack!
What’s more, they store easily, and they’re super convenient to take on a picnic.
Today we’re going to explore one of the most versatile and delectable side dishes out there – the veggie fritter!
A few things you need to know before we dive into the recipes:
- It’s unbelievable how much flavor the mixture can absorb, so be very generous with the seasoning. This is key. Otherwise the fritters will come out quite plain.
- Whenever possible I don’t peel the veggies, since I believe the skin is an integral part of the nutrients the veggie has to offer us.
I do however, thoroughly rinse and scrub the veggies prior to cooking.
- You will notice that I use avocado oil for the sautéing.
The great thing about it is that it has a very high smoke point (271°C/520°F), which means it won’t burn.
It also means it won’t sizzle that much when you sauté.
- When you’re done sautéing, place the fritters on an absorbent paper towel to remove any excess oil.
- Prepare to be pleasantly surprised:
Fritters made out of beets or sweet potatoes come out quite sweet!
Now let’s get cooking!
