Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 medium Zucchini (grated and squeezed of excess water)
- 1 medium Carrot (grated)
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded, optional for low-carb diets)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped, fresh or dried)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and 1/4 cup of warm water. Let the oats soak for 5 minutes to soften.
Add the grated zucchini, carrot, egg, shredded cheddar cheese (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and parsley to the soaked oats. Mix well until combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Using your hands, shape each portion into a round patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the patties in batches, 3-4 at a time, for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Serve warm as a standalone snack or pair with a low-carb dipping sauce or salad.
