Method
- Finely grate the carrots and chop the onion. Mix ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water and leave for 10 minutes to gel.
- Mix carrots, onion, oats, paprika and flax gel. Rest for 5 minutes so the oats absorb moisture.
- Press firmly into 8 small patties and bake on a lined tray at 200°C for about 20–25 minutes, turning carefully halfway.
- Serve when firm and golden. If too dry add a spoon of water; if too wet, a little more oats.
- Before serving, check: Make patties similar in thickness so they cook evenly. Wait until the edges have set before turning.
Beginner-friendly tips
Read these three practical tips before cooking. Check how the food looks and feels, not just the clock.
- Squeeze a spoonful of mixture in your palm before shaping. If it falls apart, rest it a few minutes so oats or other binders absorb moisture.
- Make patties similar in thickness so they cook evenly. Wait until the edges have set before turning.
- If they stick, do not tear them off the pan. Wait another minute and lift gently with a spatula; cooked patties should hold their shape.
Tip
Adjust seasonings to taste and check ingredients are fully cooked before serving.
