Vegan Sweet Potato Fritters
(Click to open a new page with my “Vegan Sweet Potato Fritters” recipe from the website.)
Packed with vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, sweet potatoes are a nutritional All-Star!
Gluten Free Gigi Tip: For a super-simple tangy dipping sauce, combine 2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar with 1/2 cup ketchup and warm it up to serve along with the fritters!
Food Allergy Note: This recipe contains 3/4 cup cornmeal. If you have a corn allergy, replace the cornmeal with the following: 1/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons tapioca flour combined with 1/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons white (or brown) rice flour. Then whisk to blend. You will still need the additional tapioca and rice flour called for in the recipe.
Makes 12 fritters
Serving size = 2 fritters
Cost per serving: $0.75

Thursday, I’ll serve up “A Side of Science”! Last week, I provided some valuable tips and facts about how Soy Lecithin fits into a soy free special diet.
This week, I’ll tell you how I plan to kick off my Fall Tour and raise awareness of Celiac Disease!
Here’s this week’s “A Side of Science” Trivia Question:
Who is credited with linking the treatment of Celiac disease to diet? And, for a bonus, what was the year??
Come back here on Thursday to find out!
Thanks for stopping by for a visit! I always love to hear from you, whether it’s what you’re cooking in your gluten free kitchen or what foods you’re finding help you stay on your special diet and live with your own food allergy... I’m interested!
At GlutenFreeGigi.com, I reveal what I learned from over 20 years of mis-diagnosis before I finally discovered my own food allergies. I also share what I continue to research and learn when living with my food allergies each day. These are my own insights. People tell me they find the information helps them navigate their lives more comfortably and confidently with their special diets. I hope the same will be true for you!
Let’s stay connected! Leave a comment below, or if you have a question, just send me a note at mailbox (at) glutenfreegigi (dot) com and I’ll answer it!
Sharing ideas and knowledge is a powerful way to keep us on the path to optimal health as we continue to learn to live gluten free, dairy free, soy free, and nut free, and even vegan! I’m glad we’re sharing this journey!
