Servings 12 Zucchini balls

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups grated zucchini
  • 1 ½ cups grated carrot
  • 3 teaspoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garam masala
  • ½ teaspoon red chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • Oil
  • Rice flour
  • Salt and pepper to season
  • Chipotle aioli or any sauce of your choice, to serve

Instructions

  • Place grated zucchini in a colander. Sprinkle with generous amount of salt. Set aside for 20 minutes. Squeeze out water from zucchinis. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 190C.
  • Heat oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and carrots. Saute, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes or until the veggies are tender.
  • Stir in minced ginger, minced garlic, ground cumin, garam masala, red chili powder, ground turmeric and salt. Saute, stirring, for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Combine together zucchini carrot mixture, dried rosemary and breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Take a little more than 1 tablespoon of the mixture in your hand and roll into a ball. Repeat until the mixture is used up. I made around 12 balls from the mixture.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place the balls on it. Spray with good quality oil and sprinkle with a little rice flour.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes. Place the tray in a preheated grill for about 5 minutes, or until browned.
  • Serve zucchini balls with chipotle aioli or any sauce of your choice.

Notes

As we are sprinkling the zucchinis with salt in the first step, be cautious while adding more salt to make the balls
