Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 large zucchini
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- as needed olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and grate the sweet potatoes, zucchini, and carrots using a box grater or food processor with a grating attachment. Place the grated vegetables in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible to prevent soggy buns.
Transfer the drained vegetables to a large mixing bowl. Add the egg, coconut flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well until a dough-like consistency forms.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a flat, round bun shape about 3 inches in diameter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray the tops of the vegetable buns with olive oil spray for even browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping the buns halfway through, until they are golden brown and hold together.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Use the vegetable buns as a base for sandwiches, burgers, or enjoy them on their own!
