Notes
A food processor makes prep quick and easy. Use the fine shredding attachment for the carrots and give the green onions a quick blitz before mixing.
These patties are freezer friendly and reheat beautifully. To freeze, let the patties cool completely, then layer between pieces of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
