• 75g sunflower seeds

• 75 g pumpkin seeds

• 1 grated carrot

• 400g black beans, rinsed and drained

• 1 onion chopped

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1 tsp cumin

• 1 tsp coriander

• 1/2 chilli, chopped

• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

• 2 tbsp Olive oil (cold pressed extra virgin)

• sea salt and ground black pepper.

I also add some dried (or fresh garlic) and I use chilli powder because I up the quantity to make them a bit spicy and I will use paprika if I don't have cayenne (and lessen the chilli when I do).

Method

• Place seeds in blender and grind. Add the carrot and blitz for 10 seconds. Add 3/4 of the beans, onions, spices, olive oil and salt and pepper. Mix until combined.

• Add remaining beans into the mix and use your hands to form patties.

• Bake in a hot over 200C for 20 minutes.
