Ingredients
Meat and Eggs
- 500 grams Minced Meat
- 2 Eggs
Vegetables
- 3 Zucchini
- 2 Eggplant
- 1/2 Cauliflower (about 250 grams)
- 2 Carrots
- 1 Onion
- 1 Garlic clove
Dry Ingredients and Seasoning
- 2 Tablespoons Almond Flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients needed for the recipe, including minced meat, vegetables, eggs, almond flour, and seasonings.
- Grate All The Vegetables: Using a grater, shred the zucchini, eggplant, cauliflower, carrots, onion, and garlic finely to create a uniform mixture that will combine well with the meat.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the grated vegetables with the minced meat. Add the eggs, almond flour, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated for the best texture and flavor.
- Portion And Shape Burger Mini Bites: Once your mixture is ready, start shaping small mini burgers or bite-sized patties by hand.
- Arrange On Baking Sheet: Place each mini bite onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced evenly to allow for even baking.
- Bake First Side: Preheat your oven to 220°C (420°F). Bake the mini bites for 20 minutes to cook through and start browning the first side.
- Flip And Continue Baking: Remove the baking sheet, carefully flip each mini bite to the other side, then return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until fully cooked and golden brown.
- Store Leftovers: While the mini bites are baking, portion any remaining mixture for storage. Once baked and cooled, store the burger bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- You can substitute minced meat with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Make sure to squeeze excess moisture from the grated vegetables to prevent sogginess.
- Adjust seasoning to taste by adding herbs like parsley or spices such as paprika.
- These mini bites reheat well in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispness.
- For a nut-free version, swap almond flour with coconut flour, but adjust quantity accordingly.
