Zucchini Zoomers

If you haven’t tried a zucchini fritter I’m not sure where you’ve been living. But they’re delicious!!

I’ve tried different types; gluten free, deep fried, oven baked, etc.

Today I’m sharing a quick, easy and toddler approved recipe for fluffy, scrumptious zucchini zoomers. Zoomers because they zoom into your mouth and down your throat very quickly!!

You'll need the following ingredients:

- 1 large zucchini or 2 small

- 180g sweet potato (1 small one)

- 3 medium eggs (or 4-5 small), lightly beaten

- 1 small red onion or half a large one

- 160g flour of self raising flour

- 1 tsp salt

- half tsp pepper

- 1 tsp garlic powder

- half mashed avocado for serving (optional)

METHOD

Thermomix Version

1. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into chunks, place in TM bowl.

2. Cut zucchini into chunks, add along with onion to TM bowl. Chop of 10 sec/speed 7.

3. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add eggs, flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder.

4. Mix 15sec/speed 3/reverse.

Food processor version

1. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into chunks and add to food processor. Blend and transfer to bowl.

2. Cut zucchini and onion into chunks. Add to food processor. Blend and add to sweet potatoes.

3. Add remaining ingredients (except avocado).

4. Mix ingredients well to combine.

Low Tech Version

1. Peel sweet potatoes and grate on grater or use a julienne peeler to make sticks.

2. Grate or julienne zucchini.

3. Finely dice onion.

4. Combine above with remaining ingredients (except avocado).

All methods

5. Heat oil in pan (medium heat). Add 1 tablespoon of mixture for zoomers for little hands, or make zoomers as large as you'd like.

6. Flip zoomers after a few minutes, as bubbles start to form.

7. Serve with mashed avocado or toppings of choice, or enjoy them as they are.

I hope you get the chance to try these for yourself. They're so yummy! You can also make a double batch and freeze them for later. Just allow the zoomers to completely cool down then freeze in a ziplock bag or an airtight container.

And as always, if you do make these, please send me a photo to share your success.
