Nutty Veggie Patties

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Nutty Veggie Patties.

1. Step 1

   Begin by filling a saucepan with water, ensuring it sits just below the steamer insert, and bring it to a vigorous boil.

2. Step 2

   Once boiling, introduce the butternut squash cubes, cover the pot, and steam them until they reach a tender consistency, which should take around 7 to 10 minutes.

3. Step 3

   After steaming, transfer the squash to a bowl and mash it, setting aside 1/2 cup for later use.

4. Step 4

   Next, return the steamer insert to the saucepan, refill it with water, and bring it back to a boil.

5. Step 5

   Add the chopped cauliflower and broccoli, cover, and steam these vibrant veggies until they are tender, which will take about 2 to 6 minutes.

6. Step 6

   In a blender or food processor, combine the walnuts, almonds, and sunflower seeds, processing them until they resemble coarse breadcrumbs.

   Incorporate the reserved 1/2 cup of mashed butternut squash along with salt, cumin, and black pepper into the nut mixture, ensuring everything is thoroughly combined.
