These pattie’s are so easy to make and can be easily substituted with other vegetables. With minimal ingredients needed, just flour, grated veggies and seasonings, it is a guaranteed crowd pleaser.
What are vegetable patties
Patties are anything ground, mixed together with seasonings bound with flour and either baked or seared. This recipe is only an example of what you can do with this awesome technique. You can use a grater or a food processor. You can make Crab-cakes too! But that is for another post.
Recipe inspiration
I just wanted to create something that would make consuming vegetables fun. Grating them to fine pieces, there will be more surface area for flavor absorption, plus the binder will be a carrier for flavor too. Searing them on both sides creates a savory sweet effect that will be irresistible to the palate.
