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 slightly cool.
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!). • 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 the fritters are cooking, combine the honey with a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil in a 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 and babaganoush are a popular pairing, though some found the fritters a little mild and boosted them with extra spices or herbs.
- Ease of prep: Most found this straightforward, though getting the fritters to the right consistency and cooking them evenly took a little practice.
- Suggestions: Squeezing moisture from the zucchini and carrot thoroughly helps the fritters crisp up; adding more flour if the mixture is too wet also improves the shape and texture. Some reviewers added corn, feta, dukkha, garlic powder, or fresh basil to the fritter batter for extra flavour.
- Leftovers: The fritters hold up well the next day eaten cold or tucked into a sandwich, though the salad is best enjoyed fresh as it doesn't reheat well with leafy greens.
- Portions: A few found the meal on the lighter side and added a side of roast potatoes, bread, or extra protein to make it more filling.
