Cooking Steps

Roast the veggies
1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.
• Cut sweet potato, capsicum and red onion  
(see ingredients) 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.
• In the last 6 minutes of veggie cook time, add diced bacon to oven tray and roast until golden. 


 TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies 
between two trays.

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, grate zucchini and carrot, then squeeze 
out any excess moisture with a paper towel.
• Halve snacking tomatoes. 
• Finely chop spring onion.


TIP: Removing excess liquid from the veggies will help 
the fritters crisp up in the pan! 

Make the fritter mixture
3

• In a medium bowl, combine zucchini, carrot, 
Cheddar cheese, the plain flour, stock concentrate 
and 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!

Cook the fritters
4

• 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!). You should get 3-4 fritters  
per person.
• Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. 


TIP: Add extra olive oil between batches as needed. 

Prep the salad
5

• While the fritters are cooking, in a second medium 
bowl, combine the honey and a drizzle of the 
vinegar and olive oil.
• Add mixed salad leaves, tomatoes, spring onion 
and the slightly cooled roast veggies. Season to 
taste with salt ad pepper. Gently toss to coat. 

Finish & serve
6

• Divide bacon, zucchini, carrot and chilli fritters and roast 
veggie salad between plates. 
• Top salad with pepitas.
• Serve with babaganoush. Enjoy!
