Instructions
Chop the heads off the broccoli (reserve the stalks and make broccoli fries or chop into a salad). Place the broccoli florets in a food processor and pulse until like a rice sized consistency. Option to do this in two batches so the broccoli blitzes equally and doesn’t get too fine.
Steam chopped veggies for 5 minutes.
Chop and saute the onion in 1 tablespoon of oil (about 5 – 7 minutes).
Let both the riced veggies and sauteed onion cool for about 15 minutes.
Chop the red bell pepper as small as you can and add it to the veggies.
Add the 2 eggs, salt, garlic and black pepper to the veggie mixture until well incorporated
Grind the flax seeds and fold the flax seed meal into the mixture.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Form into even sized patties, and place on an oiled cookie sheet. Bake for 35-45 minutes, turning the patties over halfway through cooking time.
Tips:
Make sure to drain cauliflower and broccoli really well before mixing it with the rest of the ingredients or else patties will fall apart.
Oil the baking sheet well so the patties won't stick and space them evenly on the baking sheet.
Reheating Instructions
