Who gets sick of eating salads? I admit, I struggle with it too, and while soups or steamed vegies a great way to get your daily dose of the good stuff, occasionally I feel like something a bit different.
These easy vegie fritters are a simple way to bump up your vegetable intake for the day, and kids love them.

- 1 cup wholemeal spelt flour (or equivalent gluten-free flour if you prefer)

- 2 zucchini, grated
