Common Questions:

 

Can I use frozen cauliflower instead of fresh cauliflower?

What can I substitute for psyllium husk?

You can use ground flaxseeds or chia seeds instead because they work in a similar way to bind ingredients together.

 

 

How can I cook the patties without using oil?

Cook the patties in the oven at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes, turning them over halfway through.

Can I substitute almond flour for ground almonds?

What can I use if I don’t have yogurt without dairy?

You can use a yogurt without dairy or a mayonnaise made from plants.

 

Can I make the patties ahead of time?

Sure, you can make the burger patties ahead of time and keep them in the refrigerator or freezer until you’re ready to cook them.

How can I freeze the hamburger patties?

Put the raw patties on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze them. After that, move them to a sealed container. Prepare the food directly from the freezer, and cook it for a little longer than usual.

What happens if the burger patties break apart while cooking?

Make sure the ingredients are mixed well and cold. Adding a little more psyllium husk can help hold the patties together.

Can I include more vegetables in the patties?

Yes, you can add finely grated carrots, zucchini, or other vegetables to enhance the taste and nutritional value.
