Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Sweet potato
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 cup Cauliflower rice
- 3 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Peel the sweet potato and carrot. Grate both using a medium grater. Grate the zucchini as well, and lightly squeeze out the excess water with your hands or a cheesecloth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potato, carrot, zucchini, cauliflower rice, garlic (minced), ginger, cumin powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, sea salt, and ground black pepper.
Add the ground flaxseed and coconut flour to the vegetable mixture. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients bind together into a dough-like consistency.
Divide the mixture into small portions and shape them into cutlets or patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil.
Cook the cutlets in batches. Place the cutlets onto the heated skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Remove the cutlets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve warm with a side of Paleo-friendly dipping sauce or avocado.
