Ingredients

1 potato
1 cup broccoli
1/4 cup grated carrot
1/4 cup grated zucchini
1/4 cup grated cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plus a little extra to roll them in)
1 egg

Method

Dice potato and start cooking in a steamer

Meanwhile, finely chop broccoli and grate the zucchini and carrot.

When potatoes are a few minutes off being done, add broccoli, zucchini and carrot into the steamer.

Once veggies are cooked, mash well and put in the fridge to cool down a little.

Once cool, add cheese, breadcrumbs and egg. Mix well.

Roll tablespoon sized amounts into balls and roll in the extra breadcrumbs to coat.

Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan and place burgers in, using spatula to flatten.

Fry on medium heat for about 3 minutes each side, until golden brown.

DID YOU KNOW...

A zucchini contains more potassium than a banana.
Broccoli can be eaten raw or cooked, but steaming this vegetable provides the most health benefits.
Carrots are packed full of beta-carotene, which our bodies convert into vitamin A. Carrots are one of the best sources of vitamin A. Vitamin A is good for your skin, bones, teeth, and vision. Beta-carotene is also what gives carrots their distinct orange colour.

I made these but with a different variety of veggies (potato, mushroom, green peas, carrots) and added some onion and small amount of garlic for taste and parsley. It was fantastic! baby loved it. Thanks for the recipe!

I like this recipe, but I would like to make it healthier by not frying it. Would you suggest 350Ã‚Â° in the oven 10 minutes each side?
