(Beyond the) Kale Fritters

This fritters come together quickly, are an excellent texture, and are completely jam-packed with veg! Feel free to mix up what veggies you put in - I used kale, turnip greens, green onions, and grated turnip, but it could also be done with swiss chard, spinach, carrot, or whatever suits your fancy! Make a double batch and store leftovers in the fridge for a packed lunch or snack on the go.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups kale, swiss chard, or turnip greens, finely chopped (I used kale and turnip greens)
  • 2 cups grated turnip (this was the full bunch) use a box grater or food processor
  • 3 Tbsp green onion bulb and stalk (about 7 green onion bottoms)
  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • freshly ground pepper
  • cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Combine the finely chopped leafy greens (I used kale and turnip greens), grated turnip, and green onion in a medium bowl

  2. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the flour, salt, and pepper until combined.

  3. Mix the egg and flour mixture into the veg. It will look less like a batter and more like sticky veg - this is good.

  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil of choice and allow to heat until droplets of water sizzle in the pan. Spoon the fritter batter into the pan by the spoonful - I used a regular table spoon. Flatten and spread slightly using the back of the spoon. Do not overcrowd the pan.

  5. Allow to cook until golden, about 3-4 minutes. Flip, and cook this side until golden. Place on tea towel/napkin/paper towel lined plate. Serve immediately.
