You will love these Cheesy Sweet Potato and Zucchini Bites.
Cheesy Sweet Potato and Zucchini Bites which are great for a light lunch or snack. I often make finger food things like this that are Slimming World friendly, as they are great for kids and are a great way to sneak in some hidden veg that they wouldn’t normally eat.
I paired these up with my Homemade Pizza Sauce, but they would be just as good as side dish to a main meal, they are also really great served alongside some soup instead of bread.
They are super easy to make, just some grated sweet potato, zucchini, seasoning, cheddar and egg, all mixed together and formed into patties and then baked in the oven till golden. It's hard to not eat one before they even reach the plate, as they smell so good when they come out of the oven.
As well as being vegetarian friendly, these Cheesy Sweet Potato and Zucchini Bites are also gluten free.

These look fab! Would they freeze well?
Hi there Jackie,
Yes these should freeze fine.
How many in a serving?
Thanks
The recipes serves 2, so half of the entire recipe is a serving 🙂
I made this for a Halloween get together tonight. It was a BIG hit! I was amazed the finished product actually resembled the photos! Lol, I don't always have that kind of luck.
Only thing I added was instead of using just pepper, I used a garlic & pepper grinder...because well, don't most things need garlic? Turned out great! Even people who don't like sweet potatoes or zucchini liked it!
that's awesome. I am so glad they were a hit. I know when ever I make these they go pretty fast.
These fritters are very tasty but stick to grease proof paper very badly and I lose half the fritter when scooping up to eat, has anyone had more success than me? Please let me know your secret!
hmmm that's odd, they shouldn't be sticking to parchment paper, as that is what parchment paper is for. Are you sure it was parchment paper you used?
Hiya. Yes sure it was baking paper. I even greased it after having the same problem last time.
Hi siobhan,
Do you think these would work with grated butternut squash rather than sweet potato? Just thinking how they could be adapted to SP day! Got so many courgettes in the garden!
These were super yummy. Was looking for slimming world snacks and these were just the ticket. Thanks for sharing.
Just made these very tasty x
