Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 cup Shredded zucchini
- 1 cup Grated carrot
- 0.5 cup Chopped spinach
- 0.25 cup Chickpea flour
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 5 tablespoons Hot water
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for cooking and greasing pan)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.75 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with hot water. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency. This will act as a binder instead of eggs.
In a mixing bowl, add the gluten-free rolled oats and chickpea flour. Stir to combine.
Fold in the shredded zucchini, grated carrot, and chopped spinach. Mix evenly.
Add the flaxseed mixture, minced garlic, chopped green onions, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything together until it forms a cohesive dough-like mixture. If the mixture is too dry, add 1-2 teaspoons of water. If it's too wet, sprinkle in a little more chickpea flour.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, place 3-4 patties in the pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Repeat with the remaining patties, adding more olive oil to the pan as needed.
Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the patties warm on their own, or pair them with a dipping sauce or a side salad for a complete meal.
