    Kale Veggie Patties - V and GF

    Kale Veggie Patties

    These kale veggie patties received two thumbs up from my children. My fourteen-year-old daughter even went so far as to exclaim, “Good job Mom!” Anyone with a teenage daughter will recognize this as high praise.

    They are made with just a few simple ingredients:

    • Kidney beans
    • Rolled oats
    • Brown rice
    • Kale
    • Garlic
    • Onion

    They are firm and flavorful.

    Since the patties contain a fair amount of brown rice I opted to forego a burger bun in favor of a tossed salad. I chopped some baby romaine, orange bell pepper, tomato and avocado and sprinkled some cilantro and OrganicVille French dressing on the kale veggie patties and the salad. The combination made a satisfying lunch.

    My son enjoyed his patties on a hard roll. My fair daughter made a lovely concoction with a gluten free bagel, while she voraciously shoved pieces of a plain kale veggie patty into her mouth. Alas, my poor husband didn’t get any because we ate them all. Next time I will have to make more!

    I’m not sure why I was compelled to add kale to a veggie burger recipe, other than I like to sneak dark leafy greens in whenever I can. In any event, the minced kale adds some color as well as nutritional value!

    Prep Time 10 minutes
    Cook Time 18 minutes
    Total Time 28 minutes
    Servings 3

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup baby kale
    • ¼ red onion large
    • 1 clove garlic
    • 15 oz canned low sodium kidney beans rinsed and drained
    • ½ cup old fashion rolled oats *
    • ¾ cup short grain brown rice cooked
    • 1 Tbsp. tamari sauce
    • olive oil spray optional

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
    • Add onion and garlic to a food processor fitted with the S blade and pulse to chop.
    • Leave onion and garlic in the food processor, add kale and pulse until finely chopped.
    • Add kidney beans, rolled oats, brown rice and tamari to the food processor and pulse until the ingredients are well mixed and begin to clump together. (Avoid over mixing.)
    • Scrape ingredients into a mixing bowl and then form into patties by scooping mixture with a large spoon and rolling and flattening it between your hands.
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place patties on the baking sheet.
    • Apply one quick spritz of olive oil to each patty, turn the patties and spritz the other side.**
    • Bake for approximately 9 minutes, turn patties and bake for another 9 minutes or until they appear lightly browned.

    Notes

    Recipe makes approximately 6 patties.
    *Be sure to use gluten free rolled oats if you are gluten intolerant.
    **Spritzing with olive oil creates a crispier patty, but it is not needed to prevent sticking.

     Note: I do not include nutrition information with my recipes because I subscribe to the theories presented in the book Whole and believe we should focus on eating a variety of whole foods instead of counting calories or keeping track of individual nutrients.
