Ingredients
It’s this easy
- Whisk the eggs in a large bowl
- Grate the zucchini, sweet potato and cheese, and finely dice the red onion, and add these to the bowl
- Add the ground cumin and flour to the bowl and stir to combine
- Heat the olive oil in a frypan over medium heat
- Spoon the mixture into the pan to make fritters the size of a small drinks coaster (best cooked in batches)
- Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, the fritters should be golden and feel firm in the centre
Tweaks
- Delicious served with greek yoghurt
- Add some dried chilli flakes and fresh mint for some heat and extra flavour
- If you don’t have a frypan you could try cooking the fritters on a sandwich press. Wipe the base of the sandwich press with some paper towel dipped in oil, spoon the mixture onto the base of the press and lower the top down. Lock the top into place just above the fritters and cook until golden on both sides, turning once as they cook.
