These little green fritters are the perfect combination of tasty and nourishing – made just the right size for little hands to hold, dip, and munch. Soft on the inside and lightly crispy on the outside, they’re a fun and delicious way to introduce bub to new flavours and textures.
This recipe features peas which are packed with fibre to support healthy tummy digestion as well as protein, folate, vitamin B6 and zinc to support healthy growth and boost bub’s immune function. Paired with barramundi, these fritters provide high-quality protein for strong growing muscles and omega-3s, to support bub’s brain and eye development. Eggs add an extra dose of protein as well as choline, which is an important nutrient for growing little brains. The ricotta cheese gives bub a boost of calcium for strong little bones and teeth while the parsley adds freshness and natural antioxidants, making these fritters both wholesome and tasty.
