- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture and add the beaten eggs. Mix until well combined.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place a large fry pan over a medium heat and add the olive oil.
- Using a ¼ cup measure, scoop the fritter mixture into the frypan. Flatten the mounds slightly, spacing them a few centimetres apart.
- Cook the fritters for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn them over and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve with a dollop of Greek yoghurt.
