Ingredients
Method
Preheat oven to 190°C fan-forced (210°C conventional). Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large frying pan on medium and cook bacon for 5 minutes, until browned. Drain on paper towel. Chop into pieces.
Put sweet potato in a glass bowl and cook, uncovered, for 4 minutes in a microwave on HIGH (100%). Add herbs, breadcrumbs, sugar, cheese, bacon and egg, and mix to combine. Season.
With damp hands, form mixture into 8 patties, and roll in rice flour to coat well. Sit on baking paper for 10 minutes.
Toss tomato, onion and zucchini with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Season. Put on an oven tray and bake for 15 minutes, until lightly blackened. Set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a frying pan on medium and cook patties for 12-15 minutes, turning several times. Drain on paper towel; rest for 2 minutes to firm. Toss vegies with herbs, salad and nuts. Serve with fritters and balsamic.
