Ingredients

• 1 medium Sweet potato
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1.5 cups Chickpeas, cooked
• 1 cup Rolled oats (certified gluten-free)
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 5 tablespoons Water
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the sweet potato into small chunks. Steam or boil it until soft, about 8–10 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.

Step 2

Grate the carrot and zucchini using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess water.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with 5 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to form a flax egg.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked sweet potato with a fork or potato masher. Add the grated carrot, squeezed zucchini, chickpeas, and flax egg.

Step 5

Pulse the rolled oats in a blender or food processor for a few seconds until they turn into a coarse flour. Add this oat flour to the mixing bowl.

Step 6

Add minced garlic, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything well until a sticky dough forms.

Step 7

Using your hands or a spoon, shape the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties. Place them on a parchment-lined tray or plate.

Step 8

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties in batches, 4 at a time, for about 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil for the second batch if needed.

Step 9

Remove the patties from the skillet and serve immediately. These patties pair well with a salad, in a wrap, or as a vegan burger patty.
