These patties are so versatile! You can swap out the brown rice and use quinoa from last night’s dinner or get creative with some sundried tomatoes and a sprinkle of feta. Use the recipe below as a base, then start dreaming of all the yummy combo’s you’d like to try! These patties are great because you could have one in the morning with your eggs, for a snack with some veggies and tzatziki or as a side dish for dinner. Let’s get started! Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare baking sheet by lining with parchment paper. Using a thick paper towel, press any extra water out of the grated vegetables. Process almonds and sunflower seeds in food processor. Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl, mix together really well… it should get really stiff. Using a 1/2 cup measuring cup, scoop out mixture and form into patties. Place on prepared baking sheet. Place in hot oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes. These can be eaten immediately or stored in the fridge or freezer.
