Can you tell that we are Ramp obsessed?? Ramp season doesn’t last very long so we try to enjoy them as often as possible when they are fresh. These delicious Ramp Fritters will make even the most picky eater a Ramp lover too!
Ramps, also knowns as wild leeks are found in April/May in the Appalachian Mountain region. Notoriously known for their deliciously strong flavor when eaten raw, but when cooked they become mellow and sweet.
I try to creatively sneak them into each meal while they are in season and these Ramp Fritters are our new favorite side dish.
It was love at first bite and I think you’ll agree.
