1
carrot

courgette
½ tin
sweetcorn
1 sachet

1 bag

1 packet
sweet chilli sauce
1

¼ cup

(Contains Egg; )
¼ piece
salt
¼ tsp
honey
1 tsp
vinegar (balsamic or white wine)
Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Peel, then cut kumara into bite-sized chunks. Place kumara on a lined oven tray. Drizzle generously with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then add a dash of water to the tray and roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, finely chop herbs (reserve some leaves for garnish!). Finely chop garlic. Cut haloumi into 1cm-thick slices. Grate carrot and courgette. Squeeze excess moisture out of courgette using a paper towel or clean cloth. Drain sweetcorn (see ingredients).
In a medium bowl, combine carrot, courgette, sweetcorn, garlic, the plain flour, egg, the salt, herbs and vegetable stock powder. Mix well to combine.
TIP: Lift out some of the mixture with a spoon, if it's too wet and doesn't hold its shape, add some more flour!
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat base of the pan. When oil is hot, add heaped tablespoons of fritter mixture and flatten with a spatula. Cook in batches until golden and cooked through, 2-3 minutes each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
TIP: Allow the fritters to set before you flip them. Add extra oil between batches as needed.
While the fritters are cooking, roughly chop tomato. In a second medium bowl, combine the vinegar, honey and a drizzle of olive oil. Set aside. When the fritters are done, return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook haloumi until golden brown, 1-2 minutes on each side.
Add mixed leaves, tomato and roasted kumara to the salad dressing and toss to coat. Layer fritters and haloumi to form a stack on each plate. Divide roasted kumara toss between plates. Drizzle sweet chilli sauce over each fritter stack to serve.
