Kohlrabi and Zucchini Fritters
These kohlrabi and zucchini fritters turned out great! The texture of the kohlrabi, which is kind of like a turnip, worked so well fried and turned into an amazing fritter! While, the zucchini added a softer texture and a milder taste to the fritter. This crispy little treat was lightly fried and absolutely delish, as most fried things are. No need to be afraid of fried foods here, though. This fritter is still pretty “lean and green” for you, using just enough vegetable oil to crisp the fritter (but not too much).
