Instructions
Begin by preparing a 'flax egg' as a binder. Mix the ground flaxseed with water in a small bowl and let it rest for about 10 minutes until it becomes a gel-like consistency.
Coarsely chop the cauliflower and zucchini, and cut the red bell pepper into small pieces. Peel and crush the garlic cloves.
In a food processor, combine the cauliflower, zucchini, red bell pepper, and garlic, and pulse until finely chopped but not pureed.
Transfer the chopped vegetables into a mixing bowl. Add almond flour, nutritional yeast, chia seeds, chopped parsley, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Add the prepared flax egg to the vegetable mixture and combine thoroughly. The mixture should hold together well; if needed, adjust with more almond flour.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form each into a patty about 1.5 cm thick.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the toppings. Slice the avocado, tomato, and red onion thinly.
To assemble, place each patty on a bed of mixed salad greens, and top with avocado slices, tomato slices, and red onion rings.
Serve immediately for the ultimate low carb and plant-based burger experience. Enjoy this nutritious and flavorful garden delight!
