Who doesn’t love a fritter?
Using leftovers in creative ways can be part of adopting a zero waste cooking strategy. I steamed some broccoli and carrots for dinner one night, and had about a cup and a half leftover. Sure you can just reheat the veggies and eat them again as a side dish. But that’s sort of boring right?
Instead, I whipped up these broccoli-carrot fritters and gave the leftovers new life. You can substitute just about any cooked vegetable for the broccoli-carrots. These can be made as an appetizer, be served as a side dish, or to top a salad. And what better time than National Nutrition Month® to add more veggies into your diet?! Enjoy!
