Crispy Eggplant Veggie Fritters

I love me a veggie fritter! I love making zucchini feta fritters and the eggplant rice paties. The garden was a bit overzealous this season and adorable little eggplants were overrunning my crisper!

I found this fun recipe, added some red pepper as they were also in the crisper!

Anyway that i can get veggies into me and definitely fritters makes me happy!! This was a version that used baking powder. I think i like the flatter ones, but i’ll take any i can get!!

I made this version again with 1 eggplant and a cup of shredded zucchini – fantastic as well
