Vegetable Roastie

🥔 Vegetable Roastie Recipe

Servings: 4 | Prep Time: 15 min | Cook Time: 20 min

Ingredients:

• 1 medium potato, grated

• 1 carrot, grated

• 1 zucchini or courgette, grated

• ½ onion, finely chopped or grated

• 1 egg (optional, for binding)

• 2–3 tablespoons plain flour (or chickpea flour for gluten-free)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder or minced garlic (optional)

• ½ teaspoon paprika or chili flakes (optional)

• Fresh herbs like parsley or coriander (optional)

• Olive oil or vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prep vegetables: Grate all vegetables and place them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible — this step is key to getting a crispy roastie.

2. Mix: In a large bowl, combine the grated vegetables, egg (if using), flour, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings or herbs.

3. Form patties: Shape the mixture into small patties or rounds — about 2–3 inches wide.

4. Cook: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a little oil. Fry the patties for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

5. Serve: Drain on paper towels and serve hot. Great with sour cream, yogurt dip, or chutney.

🔄 Variations:

• Add cheese: Mix in some grated cheese for extra flavor.

• Make it vegan: Omit the egg and add a tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tbsp water.

• Change the veggies: Use sweet potato, beetroot, parsnip, or spinach.
