Sage-Vegetable Patties (Vegan and Gluten Free!)

Sage-Vegetable Patties

Vegan & Gluten Free!

Yum  

These patties are a mix of chickpeas, zucchini, carrots celery, onion, garlic, fresh sage, and other herbs.  Oatmeal is the binder, so they are completely gluten free.  All of the ingredients are totally plant based, so this recipe is also vegan.  They have the texture of falafel, but they taste like thanksgiving dinner!


We had them with steamed zucchini, and vegan mashed potatoes. Yum!

I would recommend prepping all of your vegetables before you being working like this:


Then you fry them in a pan with a little salt to reduce the moisture (this will improve the taste and texture of the finished product.


Mix all of the ingredients together in a mixing bowl.


Then, just form the patties and bake!

Ingredients:

  • 1 TBSP olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1 carrot, peeled & grated
  • 1 small zucchini, grated (about a cup)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained & rinsed
  • 2 TBSP fresh sage chiffonade
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried parsley 
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup oatmeal

 

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Heat oil in a frying pan on medium heat.  Add in the onions and cook 3-4 minutes, or until they begin to look translucent. 
  3. Add in garlic, and cook another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Stir in celery, grated carrots, grated zucchini, & salt.  Cook, stirring occasionally for about ten minutes, or until the veggies are tender and all of the liquid from the vegetables is evaporated.  Remove from heat.
  5. Mash the chickpeas in a large bowl.  Stir in the cooked vegetables, sage, thyme, parsley, almond flour, & oatmeal.  Mix well.
  6. Form into 8 patties and place on a greased cookie sheet.  Cook 12 minutes on each side.

Lentil-Zucchini Buritos

Lentil-Zucchini Burritos Yum The other night I was craving Mexican-y food, but I absolutely did not want black beans.  I decided to use lentils as the protein, sauteed up with some onions and zucchini.  It was amazing! In frying pan, you simply saute up all the ingredients, then simply layer into your burrito and enjoy.  It's really easy to make.  If you make the lentils ahead of time, this would make a really nice meal to make in a short amount of time. I topped my burrito with fresh tomatoes and red onions.  You could finish yours off with whatever you happen to have on hand: salsa, guacamole, scallions, fresh cucumbers, etc. Serves: 6 Ingredients: 1 TBSP olive oil 1 onion, chopped 1 zucchini, quartered & sliced 2 garlic cloves, minced 3 cups cooked lentils 1/2 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp oregano 1/4 tsp parsley 1/8 tsp cayenne pinch of salt Directions: In a saute pan heat up your oil over medium heat.  Add the onions and sau

Oatmeal-Raisin Muffins (Vegan & Gluten Free)

Oatmeal-Raisin Muffins (Vegan and Gluten Free) I definitely enjoy cooking with oatmeal.  I already used it to make pancakes and veggie burgers , so I decided to make a muffin next!  It's cheap, it's easy, and it's healthy.  What's not to love? These muffins are tender, sweet (but not too sweet), and are packed with amazing flavors like cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. They make a very portable breakfast or snack too! Ground chia seeds act as the binder in this recipe.  To grind the seeds, simply place them in a coffee grinder (one dedicated for spices and seeds would be best) and blend until you basically have a flour.  Hydrate them in warm water and allow to sit for five minutes. This recipe also requires you to make your own plant based buttermilk.  The good news is that it's super easy to do.  Pour the soy milk right into your medium mixing bowl.  Stir in the vinegar.  Let it sit for about five minutes.  By the time you are ready to assemble th
