Here’s a delicious recipe perfect for lunch boxes for kids of any age.
The beauty of this little recipe is that you can substitute away with your kids preferred vegetables.
When I make these for dinner (with extras for next day’s school lunch boxes) I serve them with guacamole and sour cream and the kids demolish them.
Once again, I’ve avoided the grand mess that comes with frying on the stove, and saved myself lots of time by simply popping these fritters into the oven, using the time to tidy up the kitchen and throw together a salad while they cook.
