Getting the family to include more fruits and vegetables in their diet is always a mammoth task.
I have to always try and sneak in the healthy stuff in some of their favorites.
Crunchy fritters are always welcome at home, so I thought I would add in some zucchini and carrots to make it a healthy snack for my family.
Fortunately, the family enjoyed it and requested a second batch a few days later.
I enjoyed the fritters as well and I am not usually a zucchini fan. I would definitely experiment in the future, using other vegetables as well.
