broccoli patties
(click on image to enlarge)
My batch made 10, depends on the size of your veggies.
I fancied a satisfying low fat meal and this is what I came up with.
Ingredients
- 1 head medium sized broccoli
- 1 carrot
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 inch of ginger
- 1 tablespoon kelp
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lucuma
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, ground
- 1 tablespoon cumin
Preparation
I processed broccoli, carrot, garlic and ginger in blender, added the rest of the stuff and formed little patties. I dehydrated them for 4 hours, so they are drier on the outside, but still somewhat moist on the inside. They are so easy to make, are pretty affordable and versatile.

These look simple and lovely. I feel like I have been eating way too many nuts and fruit lately and I am craving some nourishing veggies. Thanks for this! At what temp did you dehydrate them?

This is going in my recipe box. It looks like a great alternative to the high fat burgers elsewhere. Thanks!

Oh goodness, so that is what purple broccoli is supposed to look like…you should see the dull grey crap we are sold here in the UK, sigh ;(
snoopy99 – lucuma is a superfood you can only get it online usually, it is slightly sweet and bright yellow. It is a powder.

This looks great! I love a nice light recipe! Although I wonder if I can use a substitute for the lucuma. I love the idea of a veggie based burger w/o nuts!
Could you grind up flax seeds in place of the lucuma I wonder?

wow, so nice looking… that is some crazy broccoli! ;) did you eat these with some sort of sauce?

Zoe, I got that brocolli in the UK :). JoyceH, I am sure it would work without Lucuma. Maybe if it does not stick together, add a little more sesame seeds. I add lucuma in everything now, cause I like it a bit too much these days :) Anmanoel, I actually ate them with hummus.

JoyceH, Also, I tried it also with flax seeds, but I ate them without dehydrating as flax oxidizes so fast…

This looks so good and I have all the ingredients on hand except for lucuma. Can anyone suggest a substitute? Thanks!

This sounds great & healthy! I can’t get Lucuma either, so i’ll just add more sunflower or maybe some sesame seeds or flax seeds. I will try this this weekend…. i have some leftover cauliflower so i’m thinking about mixing 1/2 cauliflower and 1/2 broccoli… we’ll see :) Thanks for posting this! This would go really well with a honey mustard dressing!!!!

i have these in the dehydrator right now – they didnt hold togethder so well for me – and mine are MUCH greener than the pictures. I had to use ground sunflower seeds rather than the lucuma, because i could not find that. I still think they taste really good – they just dont stick together as small patties. I also have the “brown bread” in the dehydrator – so im interested to try them together.
