Eating vegetables can be a challenge for many, especially when it comes to making it exciting. However, there are many ways to make eating your veggies an enjoyable experience. With the right approach and a handful of good recipes, you can make eating vegetables something that you look forward to every day!
We all know that eating your ‘5-a-day’ and ‘including the rainbow’ is something we all should be doing for our health and wellbeing. I think most people struggle with knowing how to cook vegetables, more so how to cook them in easy ways that will make them tasty without taking up too much time.
I’m always trying new ways to cook vegetables to make them tasty, fun, and exciting. Many people find themselves stuck in a rut when it comes to vegetables. I used to be one of those people. I would buy the same 3-4 types of vegetables a week (usually frozen), then I’d microwave them and serve them with a side of hummus. They tasted great and took very little time to prepare. That’s why I ended up eating the same vegetables and preparing them in the same way for years.
It was only once I gave myself permission to explore and play around with different ways of cooking vegetables did I really started to enjoy eating them too! Once you start roasting, grilling, and introducing more flavors into your veggie dishes, you will never want to go back to eating plain boiled bland vegetables.
Veggie fritters are a delicious and easy way to get your daily dose of veggies. They make the perfect snack or side dish and can be served with a variety of dipping sauces or condiments. These easy vegan vegetable fritters are also incredibly versatile, so you can mix and match whatever vegetables you have on hand to create unique flavor combinations.
They only take a few minutes to make. You can double the recipe and save leftovers for the next coming days. I love reheating mine in the air fryer for a quick veggie fix first thing in the morning or when I’m feeling peckish in the afternoon. They actually taste so much better the next day heated up in the air-fryer or oven.
What you need to make these easy vegan vegetable fritters:
Vegetables – use anything you have available! I used a carrot, courgette, pepper, and spring onions. However, you can use anything you have available in your fridge.
Spring onion and garlic – to add lots of flavor.
Fresh coriander – which I think should be in any fritter recipe!
Spices – I used a spice mix for ease, but you can add whatever your heart desires. Changing up the flavoring means you’ll feel you’re eating a new dish each time you make these!
Plain flour – you can use chickpea flour instead if you want a gluten-free recipe.
