Parmesan Pea Fritters

These parmesan pea fritters are packed with veggies and flavor making them an easy win for littles!

This is a cheap and easy recipe using canned peas! It’s a fun and flavorful way to serve veggies that works great as a make ahead meal/side. I thought these were good too, so it works for the whole family. The batter comes together really easily and they cook up until nice and crispy. I hope you all love them!

BABY LED WEANING

This would be a great recipe to serve babies starting at 6 months, once they’ve been safely introduced to the allergens in the fritters. For younger babies, typically it’s best to serve bigger pieces since those are easier for them to hold. Half or strips of fritters would work well here. Once they develop the pincer grasp (pointer and thumb pinching together), then you can start to give them smaller pieces.

For information on how to safely serve foods to babies depending on their age (plus so much more), I recommend Solid Starts. The app is free and has tons of information!

ALLERGENS

This recipe has eggs, dairy, and wheat. It should work just fine with an egg replacer, this one available online at Target.

A vegan cheese would work well here, or the cheese could be omitted. A gf flour should work well too.

STORAGE

I stored these in the fridge for 4 days, then transferred to the freezer. They can stay in the freezer for 2-3 months.

To freeze I would line a baking sheet with foil or parchment then lay in a single layer and place in the freezer. Once frozen (give it a few hours) you can transfer to another container. This way they are individually frozen rather than all stuck together in one huge block!

To reheat I would either thaw in the fridge overnight then toast or microwave, or just toast or microwave from frozen. I think toasting yields the best results for reheating!

SUBSTITUTES & ADD INS

Any cheese would work here as would any seasonings! Feel free to add salt if your little one is older.

TOOLS USED/RECOMMENDED

Small spatula – I find these easiest to use when flipping small pancakes or other small fritters for baby

Skillet

Mixing bowl
