Veggie Fritters are a Healthy and Easy to Make Snack
Crispy, and loaded with vegetables, these fritters are packed with fiber, flavor, and protein.
These golden veggie fritters made with zucchini, carrot, and sweet potato are the perfect summer snack. You should serve these healthy, kid-friendly with a creamy yogurt honey dip. A delicious way to sneak in fiber and protein. For a real boost, use a high-protein yogurt, I love Painterland Sisters — 2/3 cup provides 20 grams of protein plus gut-friendly probiotics.
What Makes It Nutritious?
- Rich in fiber, beta-carotene, and vitamin C from vegetables
- Lightly fried in coconut oil for healthy fat and satisfying texture
- Anti-inflammatory turmeric and digestion-supporting ginger
- Gut-friendly probiotics and protein from the yogurt

Did you know?
The average recommended daily fiber intake for adults is around 25 grams. Each serving of these veggie fritters provides about 3 grams of fiber, so eating just 6 fritters gets you nearly a third of the way there — a delicious and practical way to boost daily fiber for both kids and adults.
