- purpose flour
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper, ground
- 1 cup beetroot, grated
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped

Instructions
- Prepare the kumara fritters by combining grated kumara, flour, almond milk, baking powder, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix well until a smooth batter forms.
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, scoop spoonfuls of the kumara batter into the pan and fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

- In another small pan, lightly toast walnuts over low heat for 2 3 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
- To serve, place kumara fritters on a platter and top with the beetroot relish, toasted walnuts, and a lemon wedge if desired.
