This recipe is adapted from @healthylittlefoodies broccoli fritters! They are a great option for getting veggies into kids, but so tasty that I love them too. I have a one year old who prefers to be very independent in feeding himself, so finger foods are key.
These fritters are crispy and delicious and are an amazing way to sneak extra veggies into kids…and adults!
I hope you love these Sweet Potato Fritters! They are:
- Crispy
- Cheesy
- Comforting
- Savoury-Sweet
- & Delicious!
This recipe would be a perfect side dish for a meal or as an appetizer.
