Sweetcorn fritters are a childhood favourite of mine. They’re quick and easy to make and are a great option for a light lunch served on a bed of salad.
These vegan sweetcorn fritters combines juicy sweetcorn with green pepper, vegan bacon and fresh thyme into crisp and flavoursome fritters. They’re topped off with a generous dollop of dairy free crème fraîche and easy homemade spicy, smokey chipotle salsa. This is a flavour combination made in heaven!
These sweetcorn fritters are:
Crispy on the outside
Fluffy on the inside
Sweet and fresh
Served with creamy crème fraîche
And a smokey chipotle chilli salsa
