Ingredients

• 1 medium (grated) Zucchini
• 1 medium (grated) Carrot
• 1 cup (finely chopped) Broccoli florets
• 1 cup (ground into oat flour) Unsalted oats
• 0.5 cup Chickpea flour
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons (for cooking) Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the vegetables. Grate the zucchini and carrot, and finely chop the broccoli florets. Use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out any excess water from the zucchini to prevent the mixture from being too wet.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrot, chopped broccoli, minced garlic, and fresh parsley.

Step 3

Using a blender or food processor, process the unsalted oats into a fine flour. Add the oat flour, chickpea flour, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper to the vegetable mixture. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Stir in the lemon juice and water to help bind the mixture. If the mixture feels too dry, add an additional tablespoon of water.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each one into a patty about ½ inch thick.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is warm, cook the patties in batches. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining patties, adding the second tablespoon of oil if needed.

Step 8

Serve warm as is, or pair with a side salad, yogurt dip, or whole-grain buns to make a low-sodium veggie burger.
