I remember the first time I made these savory spinach fritters; they were a spontaneous creation one rainy afternoon.
I had spinach in the fridge that needed to be used, and I wanted something comforting yet light.
The aroma of spices sizzling in the pan filled my kitchen, and I knew I had stumbled upon something special.
They’re perfect for a quick lunch or a snack, and they always remind me to take joy in the simple things!

Ingredients & Substitutions

Tips & Notes
- •I love to serve mine with a homemade tahini sauce or a simple garlic aioli made from blended silken tofu and garlic - yum!
- •These fritters freeze beautifully; just reheat them in the oven when you're ready to enjoy!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick, or swap in kale for a different green.
- •You could also mix in some grated zucchini for extra moisture and nutrition.
Storage & Freezing
Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to a month. Just reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to regain that crispy goodness!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bake these instead of frying?
Absolutely! Just preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the fritters on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
