Ingredients

• 4 medium carrots
• 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup rolled oats
• 0.25 cup chickpea flour
• 2 cloves garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and grate the carrots into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a dry skillet, lightly toast the sunflower seeds over medium heat until fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Let them cool, then chop coarsely or pulse in a food processor. Add to the bowl with the carrots.

Step 3

Add rolled oats, chickpea flour, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, onion powder, ground black pepper, and salt to the bowl with the carrots and sunflower seeds.

Step 4

Chop the parsley finely and add it to the bowl.

Step 5

Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of water. Mix everything together thoroughly until it forms a cohesive mixture. If the mixture feels too dry, add an extra tablespoon of water as needed.

Step 6

Using your hands, shape the mixture into 8 evenly-sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small drizzle of olive oil. Fry the patties in batches, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and firm.

Step 8

Serve warm on their own, or with your favorite dipping sauce or side salad.
