Zucchini Fritters

What You Need:

• 2 cups grated zucchini
• ¼ cup flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 clove garlic chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Mixing bowl

What You Do:

1. Offer your child the grater and invite her to wash and dry the zucchini. Now she can grate them into the mixing bowl.
2. Now she can finely dice the clove of garlic and add it to the bowl. Dicing encourages your child’s fine motor and culinary skills!
3. Invite your child to measure and add the rest of the ingredients, along with the eggs.

6. Now she can serve her finished fritters alongside dinner, or with a side of sour cream for a special snack!
