Method

Squeeze out excess moisture from grated zucchini and carrot using a paper towel.

In a bowl combine eggs, zucchini, carrot, onion, cheese, flour and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Heat olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium to high heat and add the fritter mixture to the pan, making 5 to 6 individual fritters. Flatten mixture using a spatula, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes each side, or until golden.

Serve fritters on a bed of spinach.

Follow with a piece of fruit, or save for a mid-morning snack.

TIP: If the fritter mixture is too wet, add a touch more flour before cooking.
