200g carrot, peeled and grated
1 bunch spring onions, finely chopped
2 tbsp vegetable oil
A pinch of salt and pepper

Mix things up

You could add your favourite fresh herbs or spices to the mix for an interesting variation.

Step 1

Place the flour, salt and pepper into a bowl and combine.

Step 2

Add in the beetroot, carrot and spring onion and combine again.

Step 3

Add enough water to just bind the mixture together.

Step 4

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, split the batter mix into four and place into the pan.

Step 6

Leave to fry for 2–3 minutes until the bottom sets and starts to go crisp.

Step 7

Carefully flip the fritters and cook for a further 2–3 minutes on the other side.

Step 8

Transfer to a baking sheet and place into a preheated oven at 180°C (160°C fan/gas mark 4) for 10 minutes to ensure the centre of the fritter is cooked through.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and serve.
