Ingredients
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 6 tbsp water
- 300g cooked tri-colour quinoa
- 60g frozen peas, thawed
- 60g frozen corn, thawed
- 80g finely grated carrot, excess water drained
- 40g oats (gluten free if needed)
- 10g buckwheat flour or gluten free all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp pink Himalayan rock salt
- Herbs if desired (1 tbsp fresh / 1 tsp dried)
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast, optional
Method
- 1. Preheat oven to 200°C / 180°C fan assisted
- 2. Mix together flax and water and set to one side until “eggy” in consistency, approx. 1-2 minutes
- 3. Mix together all other ingredients in a large bowl
- 4. Add flax “egg” and mix well
- 5. Form the mixture into 12 balls or alternatively press into the wells of silicon muffin trays
- 6. If creating balls pack the ingredients tightly together and place on a tray lined with parchment paper and lightly greased with spray oil. Use a ¼ cup measuring tool to create even size balls which to ensure they cook evenly
- 7. If using muffin trays lightly grease with spray oil, use a ¼ cup measure to divide the mixture evenly and press it down into the muffin holes
- 8. Bake for 20 minutes. You can flip after 15 minutes so that they are brown on both sides and nicely crisp. Remove and allow to cool for 5 minutes before eating (or removing from the muffin tray if you went with this option!)
- 9. Serve with sauces, dips and sides of choice… guacamole, hummus, homemade tomato ketchup, sweet potato wedges etc. Alternatively create a jumbo superfood salad and serve veggie nuggets on top much like you would falafel
- 10. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to four days. Reheat in a pan with a tsp of coconut oil. Cook for approximately 3 minutes per side over a medium heat.
