Author Notes
Simple on ingredients but not on flavor, these patties are one of my favorite ways to use up leftover brown rice. —Erin (Naturally Ella)
Ingredients
-
1 cup
cooked brown rice
-
1/2 cup
plus 2 tablespoons whole grain bread crumbs
-
1/4 cup
pecan meal
-
1/4 teaspoon
sea salt
-
1/4 teaspoon
black pepper
-
1/4 teaspoon
garlic powder
-
1/4 teaspoon
smoked paprika
-
1/2 teaspoon
dried oregano
-
2
eggs
-
Pesto, homemade or store-bought
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425° F and cover a baking tray with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine brown rice, bread crumbs, pecan meal, salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, and oregano. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Pour the eggs into the brown rice mixture and stir until well combined. Let sit for 5 minutes.
-
Wet your hands and scoop out mixture into roughly golf-ball size spheres. Compact the balls and place on the baking tray. Press down with the palm of your hand to form a patty, packing down any loose rice pieces. Continue with the rest of the mixture.
-
Bake patties for 15 minutes, flip, and return to oven for another 10 to 15 minutes. Patties should be lightly golden and crisp on the outside. Serve brown rice patties with a drizzle of homemade or store-bought pesto.
