Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 1 medium-sized (grated) zucchini
- 1 medium-sized (grated) carrot
- 0.5 medium-sized (finely diced) onion
- 2 (minced) garlic cloves
- 1 large egg
- 100 grams breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (for frying) olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Grate the zucchini and carrot using a box grater, then transfer them to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess moisture. This step is essential to prevent the patties from becoming too wet.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated zucchini, grated carrot, diced onion, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly using your hands or a large spoon until well combined.
Step 4
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty, approximately 1-1.5 cm thick.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Cook the patties in batches, about 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
Step 7
Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the chicken and vegetable burger patties on burger buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and condiments. Alternatively, serve them on their own with a side salad for a low-carb option.
