Step 3
In a bowl mix together the cooked broccoli and sweetcorn.
Step 4
Add the chopped spring onion, grated sweet potato and chilli flakes and mix well.
Step 5
Season with some sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then add one of the eggs. Stir well so that all the ingredients are mixed thoroughly.

The mixture should be moist but not soggy, just enough to bind the ingredients. If it seems a bit too dry add the other egg.
Step 7
Spray a large frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and set on a medium heat. Using a ¼ cup measure put 5 scoops into the hot pan, leaving enough space between each one so you can turn them easily.
Step 8

Hey there. Can the dip be frozen as well or is it just the fritters
SharonThursday 6th January 2022
Hi Chloe, the dip is not suitable for freezing as yoghurt doesn’t freeze well.Just the fritters can be frozen.
LauraWednesday 11th November 2020
I tried making individual fritters but my mixture wouldn’t bind so I made one big one and grilled the top
SharonFriday 13th November 2020
Hi Laura,
we’re sorry to hear you had difficulty getting the mixture to bind together. The size of the eggs used may have affected this. You could try adding a little more egg, to make a mixture that just binds together but is not too wet. Thanks for your feedback and hope you have better success if you make them again.
LouiseTuesday 26th May 2020
Just wanted to check – is the per portion calorie count the same as per fritter?
Holly LevellTuesday 26th May 2020
Hi Louise, the mixture for this recipe makes 10 fritters and serves two people. So the calories are per portion of 5 fritters with the dip. Hope that helps!
LouiseSaturday 6th January 2018
Hi
Silly Question but I assume you grate raw sweet potato and it will cook through when fried?
Thanks
L:ouise
SamTuesday 7th April 2020
I used raw potato and made the ingredients as dry as possible. The didn’t stick well with 2 eggs. 3 eggs were more successful.
maybe next time i will mash the potato to make it more malleable.
