These easy, gluten-free pea and mint fritters make a delicious vegetarian appetiser or main meal. There is no better herb to pair with peas than the wonderfully fresh flavour of mint; in addition to that combination, some salty feta adds a welcome creaminess to every bite.
Golden and crunchy, most people will love these fritters. The exterior has a delicate, golden crispness and the interior is soft and tender.
The fritters are very easy to make. Firstly, prepare a simple batter with flour, eggs and milk, into which you add the remaining ingredients. To provide textural contrast, mash some of the peas and leave some whole. If you have children who don’t like texture, just mash them all.
Wonderfully simple but deliciously satisfying, you can serve them for brunch, as an appetiser with a dipping sauce, as a side to meat or poultry, or with a salad for a light meal. Additionally, they are wonderful finger food to serve to young children.
In just over a half hour you can have these fritters on the table. If you are serving them with a dipping sauce, our homemade Sweet Chilli Sauce is a great accompaniment.

This sounds like a delicious recipe! I love anything that has feta cheese in it. If I could I would eat feta cheese with every dish, this is how much I love it. I think it balances the sweet taste of peas and the sharpness of the mint very well.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Joanna! 🙂
These sound amazing! I love the idea of the mint with the feta, unique flavor combination. I need to perfect a crispy fritter, my attempts at making them missed the mark.
Give this recipe a try, Deanna, and let me know what you think 🙂
I’ve never had a pea and mint fritter before and since I have been trying to eat less meat, this looks like a must try! I can give up meat but I can’t give up cheese ahahah 🙂
Thanks, Monice 🙂 I hope you will enjoy this!

I like how you use the sweet chilli sauce to dip when serve. I would be very much liking the final touch with the sweet chilli sauce. Pea and Mint what a brilliant combination.

Love to know your thoughts if you do try it, Tara 🙂
These look awesome! I wonder if I could make it vegan by using an egg substitute and a dairy-free cheese because these are right up my alley!
Hey Tessa! An egg substitute works well in this – such as chia 🙂 I haven’t tried with dairy free cheese, but I am, sure that would work well!
I’m always making banana fritters but never thought to make pea and mint fritters. This looks delicious, will need to try 🙂

I’m normally not a huge fan of mint flavored anything (besides gum). But I cannot deny that this looks tasty! Must try!
Thanks Jess! You can add another herb if you prefer! 🙂
Pea and mint..hmmm I never thought of this combination but I am curious to try. I dunno if my daughter would like this though. She doesn’t like peas as well as mint! haha
Haha sounds like not the dish for her 🙂 But you can add other things instead – the fritter recipe is a great base 🙂
That’s a combination I haven’t heard of before. I am definitely going to try it!
Let me know what you think! 🙂
I love fritters, I just had to swap some ingredients like milk but these are delish!
