Ingredients

  • 2 T. olive oil
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Add oil to a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add celery, carrot, onion, garlic and sweet potato to pan. Stir and add cumin, sea salt, and pepper. Cook 5-7 minutes.
  • Saute until onions start to soften. Add mushrooms and zucchini. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sweet potato is tender. (About 5-10 more minutes.) Remove vegetables from heat and allow to cool.

  • Shape into 5-6 oz patties and bake for 10 minutes. Serve warm or pack into freezer bags and flat freeze.
