Delicious Vegetable Patties

These vegetable patties are a great way to cram extra vegetables into your day, they are quick and simple to make and can be left prepared in the fridge until you want to bake in them for dinner or lunch (or popped in the freezer for a later date). They can be made for burgers or into smaller portions and served in a pita as an alternative for falafel. Also an easy recipe that lets you swap and switch vegetables that you may need to use up from your weekly shop.

We love to make them early in the week so they're ready to get when we get home from a yoga class at night! For a gluten free version we love to swap bread crumbs with oats (they have a similar texture and even more fibre!).
