Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium carrots
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 0.25 cup chickpea flour
- 2 cloves garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and grate the carrots into a large mixing bowl.
In a dry skillet, lightly toast the sunflower seeds over medium heat until fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Let them cool, then chop coarsely or pulse in a food processor. Add to the bowl with the carrots.
Add rolled oats, chickpea flour, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, onion powder, ground black pepper, and salt to the bowl with the carrots and sunflower seeds.
Chop the parsley finely and add it to the bowl.
Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of water. Mix everything together thoroughly until it forms a cohesive mixture. If the mixture feels too dry, add an extra tablespoon of water as needed.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into 8 evenly-sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small drizzle of olive oil. Fry the patties in batches, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and firm.
Serve warm on their own, or with your favorite dipping sauce or side salad.
