Satisfy your cravings with these Low Carb Vegetable Oatmeal Patties, a wholesome and nutrient-packed recipe that's perfect for breakfast, snacks, or light meals. Bursting with the natural flavors of zucchini and carrots, these patties are brought together with a blend of hearty rolled oats, aromatic spices like garlic and onion powder, and an optional hint of cheddar cheese for added indulgence. Softened oats provide a tender base, while a quick stovetop fry in olive oil gives these patties a golden, crispy exterior. Easy to prepare in just 15 minutes of prep time, this dish caters to low-carb diets and pairs wonderfully with fresh salads or your favorite dipping sauce. Perfect for meal prepping, these patties are a delicious way to enjoy a healthier, veggie-forward twist without compromising on taste.
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.
