Our simple but sophisticated recipe from Italian cuisine will enchant your taste buds. The juicy golden-brown baked carrot balls are not only a treat for the palate, but also a great way to integrate more vegetables into your diet.

In the meantime, peel and finely dice the carrots and potatoes. Then add to the boiling water and cook for a few minutes until the vegetables are slightly soft. Then drain and leave to cool.

Meanwhile, grate the parmesan cheese and finely chop the parsley and spring onion. Equip the straining mill with the middle sieve insert and place it on a sufficiently large bowl. Preheat the static oven to 180°C/360°F.

Now turn the lukewarm carrot and potato cubes through the straining mill. (Alternatively, these can also be mashed with a fork).
Then add the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, chopped parsley and spring onion to the mixture. Season to taste with salt, pepper and nutmeg and mix thoroughly.

Now take a handful of the mixture at a time and form into balls or patties with your hands and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Drizzle the carrot balls with a little olive oil and place in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Turn once halfway through the baking time.
