Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz) Chickpeas
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 0.5 medium Red bell pepper
• 2 cups Spinach
• 0.5 medium Onion
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 5 tablespoons Water
• 0.75 cups Oats
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Coriander powder

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl and mash them roughly with a fork or potato masher. Leave some chunks for texture.

Step 2

Peel and grate the carrot. Grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a paper towel or clean cloth.

Step 3

Finely chop the red bell pepper, spinach, and onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix ground flaxseed and water. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes to form a gel-like consistency. This will be your flax egg replacement.

Step 5

Combine the mashed chickpeas, grated carrot, zucchini, chopped vegetables, and minced garlic in the mixing bowl.

Step 6

Add the flaxseed mixture, oats, and all the spices (salt, black pepper, cumin powder, paprika, and coriander powder) to the bowl.

Step 7

Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should be cohesive and easy to shape. If it's too wet, add more oats as needed.

Step 8

Shape the mixture into 8 even-sized patties.

Step 9

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.

Step 10

Cook the patties in the pan for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Serve warm alongside a fresh salad or sandwiched in a whole grain bun. Enjoy your sugar-free hearty veggie patties!
