These veggie-packed patties are bound with mashed cannellini beans for a texture that’s creamy and hearty. Think of the recipe as a template and adapt it to what you have on hand. No beans? Try chickpeas. In place of broccoli, try cauliflower. And use whatever cheese you have in your fridge.

Ingredients

Broccoli

3 cup(s), chopped, (285g)

Canned cannellini beans, rinsed, drained

1 400g can

Garlic powder or flakes

½ tsp, (powder)

Egg(s)

1 medium, lightly beaten

Grated parmesan cheese

¼ cup(s), (20g)

Lemon(s)

1 medium, wedges to serve

Oil spray

1 x 3 second spray(s)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
2. Place broccoli in a microwave–safe bowl, cover and microwave on High (100%) for 3 minutes or until tender. Uncover and drain, being careful to avoid hot steam.
3. Mash beans with a fork in a large bowl until almost smooth. Stir in garlic powder and egg. Add broccoli and mash lightly with a fork to combine. Stir in parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
4. Divide mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a 1.5 cm thick patty. Place patties on prepared tray and lightly spray with oil. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with lemon wedges.
