Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 small zucchini
- 1 large egg
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or oat flour for a gluten-free option)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
Instructions
Peel and grate the sweet potato, carrot, and zucchini using a box grater or food processor.
Place the grated vegetables into a clean dish towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out the excess moisture to prevent sogginess.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated vegetables, egg, flour, Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt (optional if making for babies). Mix until fully incorporated.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small, flat patties about 2 inches in diameter.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Place the patties in the skillet in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining patties, adding the second teaspoon of olive oil as needed.
Let the patties cool completely before serving to your baby. Serve as-is or with a side of yogurt for dipping.
