Crispy Broccoli and Carrot Fritters

I promised this week would not be a Mexican-inspired meal and I held true to my word and I am sharing one of my newest healthy recipes! These crispy broccoli and carrot fritters are actually a very kid-friendly recipe as long as you merely blanch the veggies instead of cooking them like I did since I forgot them on the stove. Once the broccoli smell permeated the house, my three year old declared he wasn’t eating the smelly broccoli. And, he didn’t. I tried to convince them of how good they were with cheese and carrots and onions but nothing worked. Three year olds are very stubborn when they make up their minds!

Crispy Broccoli and Carrot Fritters

So my 3-year-old at least ate some of the nitrate-free turkey hot dogs I also made for the kids with ketchup. LOTS of homemade ketchup. What is it with kids and ketchup? They treat like it’s a side dish. So his dinner consisted of the turkey dog, ketchup and the yogurt dressing that I made to go with the smelly broccoli. Regardless of this three year old obsessed with trains and anything in train-formation, these crispy broccoli and carrot fritters are great for your healthy meal plans. Pair them with a salad, beans or fruit and you have a complete meal! See all the healthy recipes on this site here!
