In honor of Earth Day, my friends at Annie Chun asked me to come up with a zero waste inspired recipe. I’ve always wanted to create something out of the vegetable scraps left over from juicing, so lo and behold, say hello to these Juice Pulp Fritters.

I’m serving these juice fritters over brown rice buddha bowls with red cabbage, carrots and avocado. Annie Chun’s Thai Style Peanut Sauce is what brings this dish together. This thick, rich, gluten free sauce is made with simple ingredients and is perfect for dipping, drizzling and & grilling.

Why these Juice Pulp Fritters are so good

• They’re very easy to make, not to mention super versatile- use whatever vegetables are going into your glass of fresh squeezed juice!
• These fritters are a great way to keep those vegetable scraps from going to waste, making this a sustainable recipe that will also help you stretch your dollars!
• Since these fritters are packed with vegetables, they are incredibly nutritious.
• They taste amazing too, thanks to the addition of onion, fresh cilantro and turmeric.

How to make this recipe

To make the juice pulp fritters, combine all of the fritter ingredients in a bowl. Then measure out the patties using a 1/4 cup measuring scoop as a guide. Make sure to press the patties firmly until they are tightly packed, letting any extra moisture drip out.

Then melt coconut oil in a large preheated skillet over medium-high heat and place 3-4 fritters in the pan. Cook for about 4 minutes per side, flipping once, and repeat with the remaining fritters.

Lastly assemble the buddha bowls with cooked brown rice and fresh vegetables such as red cabbage, carrots and avocado. Top them with a few fritters and finish off the dish with a generous drizzle of peanut sauce. You could also serve it on the side for dipping.

Variations

Don’t worry if you do not use the exact vegetables listed in the recipe for your juice. Any vegetable that produces pulp and cooks down well should work. Other vegetables that may be substituted include celery, ginger, baby spinach and swiss chard!
