Ingredients
- 200g/7oz cauliflower, coarsely grated
- 200g/7oz sweet potato, peeled and coarsely grated
- 2 medium carrots, coarsely grated
- 1 medium courgette, coarsely grated
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 small bunch parsley, leaves picked and roughly chopped
- 1 tsp onion granules
- 100g/3½oz fresh breadcrumbs
- 2 free-range eggs
- freshly ground black pepper
Method
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Set aside for 15 minutes.
Take small handfuls of the mixture and, using your hands, squeeze it over a sink or bowl to remove any excess moisture. Roll into a sausage shape and place on the baking tray. Repeat with the remaining mixture (you should have around 16 sausages).
Bake for 25 minutes until golden-brown and cooked through.
