Veggie Goodness: Healthy Cauliflower Carrot Mini-burgers

Clean cauliflower and carrot burgers: 

-About half a cauli divided and boil-cooked in salted and generously cumin-ed water till soft. 

- 1 big carrot, peeled and grated. 
- 2 Tbs whole-grain bread crumbs 
- 1 egg, beaten ( use more bread crumbs or oats if you're vegan/vegetarian) 
- Salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, oregano, ginger to taste 
- Parsley/coriander (optional) 

● Put the cooked cauli in a strainer. Using a masher, smash the florettes down, squeezing any excess liquid out as you do. 

● Add the grated carrots, egg, crumbs, spices and mix well with your hand until the mixture is sticky and doughy. If you feel it's too dry, add another. It depends on the size of the eggs. 
● Form the dough into mini-burger patties and you can either bake them in a preheated 180 degree oven or grill them on a sparingly-greased non-stick skillet for 3 min.on each side. 
● If in the oven, make sure you use lightly greased parchment paper or a non-stick baking tray, top and bottom-heated oven, until golden brown. Don't forget to tag me if you make them.
