Easy vegan veggie patties made with fresh vegetables. Moreover, they are healthy, crispy, and perfect for snacks, meals, or kids.
🧾 Ingredients (Makes 8–10 Patties)
- 1 cup boiled potatoes (mashed)
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrot, peas, corn, beans – finely chopped)
- ½ cup breadcrumbs (plus extra for coating)
- 2 tbsp chickpea flour (optional, for binding)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp olive oil (plus extra for cooking)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley, coriander – optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
First, steam or boil vegetables until tender. Meanwhile, mash the potatoes in a large bowl.
Next, add the vegetables, breadcrumbs, chickpea flour, spices, herbs, and olive oil. Mix until well combined.
Then, shape the mixture into small patties of desired size. If the mixture is sticky, chill for 10–15 minutes.
After that, lightly coat patties with breadcrumbs for extra crispiness.
Finally, cook the patties:
- Shallow Fry: Heat oil in a pan and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Air Fry: Air-fry at 180°C for 12–15 minutes.
⭐ Tips for Perfect Patties
Firstly, squeeze extra water from vegetables to prevent sogginess.
Additionally, use mashed potatoes as a natural binder.
Moreover, chill the patties before cooking to help them hold their shape.
If desired, add a pinch of chili flakes for a spicy version.
🔄 Variations
- Cheesy Veggie Patties: Add vegan cheese or nutritional yeast.
- Spicy Version: Additionally, mix in finely chopped green chili or paprika.
- Protein Boost: Add cooked lentils, quinoa, or chickpeas.
- Gluten-Free: Replace breadcrumbs with almond flour or gluten-free crumbs.
- Sweet Potato Patties: Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes.
💚 Health Benefits
These veggie patties are high in fiber, therefore they support digestion.
Moreover, they provide vitamins and minerals from a variety of vegetables.
Because they are baked or shallow-fried, they are lower in fat than traditional fried snacks.
As a result, they are a nutritious, filling, and family-friendly option.
🧒 Kid-Friendly Version
For kids, skip spicy ingredients and use mild flavors.
Additionally, shape the patties into small fun shapes (stars, hearts, or mini rounds).
Serve with ketchup, hummus, or a mild vegan yogurt dip.
Finally, bake instead of frying for a lighter snack.
