Ingredients
Meat and Eggs
- 500 grams Minced Meat
- 2 Eggs
Vegetables
- 3 Zucchini
- 2 Eggplant
- 1/2 Cauliflower
- 2 Carrots
- 1 Onion
- 1 Garlic clove
Other Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Almond Flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather and wash all the vegetables and meat, making sure everything is ready for processing.
- Grate All The Vegetables: Using a grater, finely grate the zucchini, eggplant, cauliflower, carrots, onion, and garlic to create a uniform texture that will mix well into the burger bites.
- Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine all grated vegetables with minced meat. Add the two eggs, almond flour, salt, and pepper to the mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Portion And Bake: Preheat the oven to 220°C (420°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using your hands or a scoop, form the mixture into small burger-sized mini bites and place them spaced evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake First Side: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the mini bites for 20 minutes, allowing them to cook through and start browning.
- Turn And Bake: After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet carefully. Flip each mini bite to ensure even cooking on both sides, then return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes of baking until golden and firm.
- Store: Once baked, remove the mini bites from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Portion out any leftovers and store them in an airtight container for future snacking or meals.
Notes
- Make sure to grate the vegetables finely to help them bind well together.
- Using parchment paper prevents the mini bites from sticking to the baking sheet and makes cleanup easier.
- You can substitute almond flour with coconut flour for a different flavor profile but adjust quantity as it absorbs more moisture.
- These mini bites can be served hot or cold and pair well with keto-friendly dipping sauces like sugar-free mustard or avocado mayo.
- Ensure to flip the bites halfway to get an even crispy texture on both sides.
- If preferred, you can add your favorite herbs like parsley or basil for extra flavor.
