Crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside fritters full of grated vegetables – ideal for dipping and snacking.

Veggie Fritters are a fun way to serve vegetables as a finger food. They’re crisp at the edges, soft inside and perfect for dipping into yogurt or hummus.

They batch-cook beautifully and reheat well in the oven or air fryer, making them a great standby snack or simple lunch for children.

Method

  1. Grate the courgette and carrot and squeeze out as much moisture as you can using a clean cloth or kitchen paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, then stir in the flour, baking powder and seasoning to make a thick batter.
  3. Fold through the grated vegetables, sweetcorn, cheese and spring onion until everything is well coated.
  4. Heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan and flatten slightly. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
  6. Transfer cooked fritters to a rack or paper towel to cool. Continue with the remaining mixture.

Why choose organic for this recipe?

The most important organic choices in this recipe are the grated vegetables and eggs. Crops like carrots, courgettes and sweetcorn may be treated with synthetic pesticides during the growing season, so organic versions help to lower residues on foods where children eat the skin and flesh together.

Organic eggs come from hens kept under higher welfare standards and with feed grown without routine synthetic pesticides or GM ingredients. For snacks that rely on eggs to bind everything together, choosing organic can be a simple way to support both welfare and lower-input farming.
