• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut sweet potato into fries. • Place fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Toss to coat. Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the fries between two trays.
• While fries are baking, grate zucchini and carrot, squeezing out any excess moisture with a paper towel. • Finely chop garlic. • Thinly slice spring onion. • Thinly slice tomato.
TIP: Removing excess liquid from the veggies will help the fritters crisp up in the pan!
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 6-7 minutes. • In a medium bowl, combine zucchini, carrot, cooked bacon, spring onion, garlic, the milk, the egg, Parmesan cheese, All-American spice blend, a pinch of chilli flakes (if using), the plain flour, the salt and a pinch of pepper.
TIP: Lift out some of the mixture with a spoon, if it's too wet and doesn't hold its shape, add a little more flour!
• When fries have 10 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base. • When oil is hot, add heaped tablespoons of the fritter mixture in batches and flatten with a spatula. Cook until golden, 3-4 minutes each side (don't flip too early, allow time for the fritters to set!). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. You should get 3-4 fritters per person.
TIP: Add extra olive oil between batches as needed.
• While fritters are cooking, halve bake-at-home burger buns and bake directly on a wire oven rack until heated through, 2-3 minutes.
• Spread burger buns with a layer of smokey aioli. Top each bun base with two cheesy bacon and veggie fritters, a handful of mixed salad leaves and tomato slices. • Serve with sweet potato fries and any remaining fritters and smokey aioli. Enjoy!
