Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Cut sweet potato and capsicum into bite-sized chunks. • Place prepped veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays.
• Meanwhile, grate zucchini and carrot, then squeeze out any excess moisture with a paper towel. • Thinly slice spring onion.
TIP: Removing excess liquid from the veggies will help the fritters crisp up in the pan!
• In a medium bowl, combine zucchini, carrot, spring onion, shredded Cheddar cheese, the plain flour, vegetable stock pot and the egg. • Add the salt and a pinch of pepper and chilli flakes (if using). Mix well.
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!
• In a large frying pan, heat enough olive oil to coat the base over medium-high heat. • 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!). You should get 3-4 fritters per person. • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
TIP: Add extra olive oil between batches as needed.
• While the fritters are cooking, combine the honey with a drizzle of the vinegar and olive oil in a second medium bowl. • Season, then add mixed salad leaves, pepitas and the slightly cooled roast veggies. Gently toss to coat.
• Divide zucchini, carrot and Cheddar fritters and roast veggie salad between plates. • Serve with babaganoush. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The fritters are widely praised for their flavour, with chilli flakes and babaganoush highlighted as standout additions. Some found the fritters mild and suggest boosting seasoning or adding herbs like dill or coriander.
- Ease of prep: Most found the recipe straightforward, though grating the zucchini and carrot and squeezing out excess moisture added time. A few noted the fritters can be fiddly to cook, especially when managing multiple batches on the cooktop.
- Suggestions: Ensuring the fritter mixture is dry enough is key — add extra flour if it feels too wet, and don't flip too early for a crispy result. Some had success cooking the fritters in an air fryer at around 200°C for 8 minutes as a less hands-on alternative. A stronger or sharper cheese, or a more tangy dipping sauce, was suggested by several customers to lift the overall flavour.
- Leftovers: Leftover fritters keep well and are enjoyed cold or reheated the next day for lunch. Several customers noted they made a double batch specifically to have extras on hand.
- Portions: A few customers found the salad leaves and roasted vegetables on the lighter side, and suggest the fritter yield can vary depending on the size of the zucchini and carrot provided.
