Zucchini Carrot Chickpea Patty

With summer, comes the bounties of the garden… and sometimes, those bounties are never ending. We had a huge zucchini harvest this year and I’ve had to find creative ways of adding it to our meals. My kids loved these veggie bean patties and it’s a great way to add healthy protein sources to the summer diet.

I try and keep the recipe as healthy as possible and opt out on frying them, but you can do that too. Dip these yummy patties in Ranch dressing and it’s amazing! Also, they make great patties for veggie burgers. Enjoy!
