Ingredients:
- 3 medium parsnips, peeled and grated
- 3 spring onions, finely chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or a gluten-free alternative)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (or your favorite herbs), finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil or neutral oil for greasing
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly brush the paper with oil to prevent sticking. - Prepare the Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated parsnip, chopped spring onions, and dill. Add the eggs and mix until the ingredients are well coated. Gradually stir in the flour, adding a pinch of salt and pepper to season. - Shape the Fritters:
Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into patties, about 1-2 cm thick. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each fritter. - Bake the Fritters:
Bake the fritters in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Carefully flip them over using a spatula and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp on both sides. - Serve:
Remove the fritters from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with a dollop of yogurt, sour cream, or a side salad.
These fritters are perfect as a snack, side dish, or even a light main course!
