An easy vegetarian lunch, dinner, or meal prep option! Feel free to change up the veggies or even add a little bit of cheese and your favourites herbs, and spices to change it up and keep it interesting - sometimes I like to add chili flakes or mixed herbs and they always turn out ace.

Get creative with your veggie combos!
Storage: Store in the fridge in an airtight container. They’re never as good reheated as it is difficult to get the same crisp crust and they can be a little soft. However, if you want to try freezing them I suggest that you cool the cooked fritters as quickly as possible and then freeze in a solid stack in an airtight container, with baking paper in between each layer, and freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat thaw the fritters overnight in the fridge then spreading them on baking sheets and reheating them in an oven x
