White Bean Patties

Beans, cauliflower and turmeric are among the ingredients that get tossed in to these patties, though you could easily add a variety of other healthy things, too. I serve these with a little dollop of Greek yogurt, and Cole gobbles them up happily. Success!

Ingredients

  • 1 can Great Northern Beans rinsed and drained
  • ½ a large white onion roughly chopped
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • Squeeze of lemon juice
  • Handful of cilantro roughly chopped
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • 1 ½ cups riced cauliflower cooked
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons coconut flour
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet by lining with foil and spraying or rubbing with a little olive oil. Set aside.
  • Place first 10 ingredients in food processor and pulse until the mixture is uniform and combined -- it doesn't have to be completely smooth.
  • Add bean mixture to cooked cauliflower in a medium bowl and stir to combine.
  • Add coconut flour a tablespoon at a time until the mixture is firm enough to form into patties. {You don't want them too dry, just dry enough to not be gooey.}
  • Scoop a piece of the mixture out that is a bit larger than a golf ball, and form into a ball, then squish into a patty.
  • Place on prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remainder of the mixture. Spray or rub the tops with a little extra olive oil.
  • Bake for about 15-20 minutes until the tops look dry and begin to brown slightly. Let patties sit and cool for about 10 minutes so they set up a bit before serving.

Notes

- Serve with a dollop of yogurt or with a side salad.
- These patties are soft right out of the oven, but will set up a bit as they cool.
