Healthy Curried Sweet Potato Fritters Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 medium orange sweet potato, grated

• 1 small carrot, grated

• 1 small courgette, grated

• ½ small red onion, finely diced

• 3 - 5 cloves garlic, crushed

• 1 tbsp of freshly grated ginger

• Large handful fresh coriander, roughly chopped

• Large pinch sea salt and cracked black pepper

• ( use 3 tsp of curry powder or add the following spices below)

• 2 heaped tsp cumin

• 1 heaped tsp turmeric

• 1 heaped tsp ground coriander

• 1 cup rolled oats, blitzed into flour (or plain flour)

• 1 cup grated cheese

• 2 eggs

To finish:

• Sesame seeds

• Olive oil

Method

• Prepare the vegetables

Grate the sweet potato, carrot and courgette. Using your hands or a clean tea towel, squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This helps the fritters become crisp when baked.

• Mix the fritter mixture

Place the squeezed vegetables into a large bowl. Add the diced onion, garlic, ginger, coriander, spices, oats (or flour), grated cheese, eggs, salt and pepper.

• Combine well

Mix thoroughly with your hands until everything is evenly combined.

• Shape the fritters

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and sprinkle some sesame seeds onto the tray.

• Form the fritters

Grab handfuls of the mixture and firmly compact between the palms of your hands to form patties. Place onto the tray. This recipe makes around 10 fritters.

• Top and drizzle

Sprinkle additional sesame seeds over the top and lightly drizzle with olive oil.

Bake

• Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for around 30 minutes, or until golden, crisp and cooked through.

Serving Ideas

• These fritters are incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways:

• As a healthy savoury snack

• Packed into lunchboxes

• With avocado or yoghurt dip

• Alongside a fresh salad

• In wraps or grain bowls

• As a quick light lunch

  
  

They also taste great cold straight from the fridge, making them perfect for meal prep throughout the week.

Storage

Store leftover fritters in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to crisp them up again, or enjoy cold as a snack.
