Try making fritters with vegetables like shredded zucchini, shredded carrot, thinly sliced green beans, frozen corn kernels or peas. You could make them with berries or bananas, too. Our little testers liked them plain, torn into pieces as finger food with a little cubed cheese on the side. Miniature ones would make an easy and adult-worthy little appetizer, maybe with some sour cream and smoked salmon to go on top.
