These yummy protein-rich veggie patties are extremely nutritious, just by eating them you will feel healthier! I love making these when I feel like a light, meat free meal. The combination of black beans and seeds ensures you get all essential amino acids, making these patties high in protein. Black beans are also high in fiber, which supports the movement of food through the digestive system. Pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds contain an array of nutrients together such as zinc, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, copper, vitamin E, B vitamins, they also provide antioxidant support and much more.

Over the years I have made these for my partner and friends who have devoured them, they have always been a hit! They are a great vegetarian option to meat patties and always satisfy the taste buds. Another bonus is they are super easy and simple to make, you pretty much throw the ingredients together in a food processor, blitz it up, form them into patties, then pop them into the oven to cook. They are delicious hot or cold, and can be served alongside a fresh salad, in burger buns or stuffed into lettuce wraps for a gluten-free option. They also freeze well, so if you don’t finish them all you could easily store them in a sealed container in the freezer.
