Ingredients
Method
- Crumble the Weet-Bix™ into a large bowl. Add the grated zucchini and beetroot.
- Add the pepitas, feta cheese, and spring onion. Season to taste. Mix all the dry ingredients together. Stir in the eggs and mix until well combined.
- Heat a heavy-based, non-stick frypan on a low heat. Spray with a little spray oil. Cook the fritters in batches. Drop each spoonful of mix into the pan and cook on one side for 4-5 minutes. Turn and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes.
- Place the fritters on a baking tray and place in a warm oven while cooking the remaining fritters.
- Serve the fritters with a side salad, and top with yoghurt mixed with chives and lemon wedges.
Tips
- Sanitarium Gluten-free Weet-Bix™ makes a great substitution for a gluten-free diet. Substitute the self-raising flour for rice flour and a spoonful of gluten free baking powder.
- Can also be made using vacuum packed beetroot. Smash up the beetroot in the pack before opening and adding to the fritter mix.
- Resist turning the heat up too high as this will burn the outside before cooking the inside.
