These veggie patties are your new go-to when you want something nourishing, satisfying, and EASY. Made from real veggies, chickpea flour, and flaxseed—no oil, no junk, just plant-powered goodness.

🥬 Serving Idea: Lettuce-Wrapped Burger Bliss

I love mine in crisp lettuce leaves with:

• Fermented dill pickles 🥒

• Sliced red onion 🧅

• Juicy tomato slices 🍅

• A generous spoonful of the creamy tahini sauce on top

🌟 Nutrition Commentary

These patties are a nutrient powerhouse:

• Zucchini & broccoli bring antioxidants, vitamin C, and gut-loving fiber

• Chickpea flour & flaxseed add plant-based protein, iron, and omega-3s

• Tahini provides calcium, magnesium, and healthy fats for hormone + brain health

• Fermented pickles support gut health with natural probiotics

You’re not just feeding your hunger—you’re fueling your cells. 💪

❄️ Freezer Tips

• Make a double batch and let patties cool completely

• Freeze flat on a tray, then transfer to a container or reusable freezer bag

• To reheat:
  → Bake at 350°F for 15–20 min OR
  → Air-fry at 375°F for 8–10 min
  → Pan-fry from thawed for max crispiness

Perfect for busy nights when you don’t want to cook but still want to eat well. 🙌
