Carrot Fritters – Donna Hay #17
Yes, it is time for another Donna recipe! This was one of those recipes where I didn’t necessarily think it would be really good. Carrot fritters… Nothing came to mind when I read the recipe. Don’t get me wrong; I do like carrot, but generally in the raw variety or in a salad. Or grilled. Very rarely do I cook them (because that gives me visions of how my mum used to prepare them… horribly overcooked and with too much sugar in it… Yuck!)
That is definitely not the case with these quick carrot fritters. It’s a quick and delicious sidedish and I really loved them. Donna used heirloom carrots but I could only find the orange ones, so that is what I used… And well, considering the time of year it would be a nice snack during any football match… 😉

Mhh, I just love Donna Hay’S Recipes. So simple, quick, yet full of flavour. And I love fritters :)!!
This looks so good! love that it’s gluten free. Is it pan fry or bake? I’m a bit confused with the instruction
He Shannon. It’s baked in a pan with a little bit of oil… I’ll double check the instructions…:)
