Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 large zucchini
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0 as needed olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel and grate the sweet potatoes, zucchini, and carrots using a box grater or food processor with a grating attachment. Place the grated vegetables in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible to prevent soggy buns.
Step 3
Transfer the drained vegetables to a large mixing bowl. Add the egg, coconut flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well until a dough-like consistency forms.
Step 4
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a flat, round bun shape about 3 inches in diameter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Lightly spray the tops of the vegetable buns with olive oil spray for even browning.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping the buns halfway through, until they are golden brown and hold together.
Step 7
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Use the vegetable buns as a base for sandwiches, burgers, or enjoy them on their own!
