Makes: 20 balls

Prep time: 20 mins

Cook time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

1 medium carrot, grated
1 medium sweet potato, grated
1 medium white potato
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 cup chickpea flour
1⁄2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp cumin seeds
1 Tbsp sesame seeds

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C and line a baing tray with a silicon baking mat or baking paper.
2. Place the grated vegetables into the food processor and pulse a few times - you don't want them puréed, just broken down a little.
3. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse until well combined, using the spatula to scrape down the sides of the processor bowl as required.
4. Take about 2 tablespoons of mixture, roll into balls and place on the baking tray.
5. Transfer the tray to the oven and bake for 30 minutes, rotating the balls half way through.
6. Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool slightly before serving. Or cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge.
