Baked Veggie Fritters / Burgers (Healthy)

I made these up the other morning when I had nothing to take to work for lunch. While not vegetarian, I like to eat veggie at lunch time because one portion of meat a day seems to suit me fine, but these would equally make a good side dish to virtually any main meal. These are nice and simple to make and really you could vary them up with your favourite ingredients. These are mine...

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 2
• Yields: 4 patties

Ingredients

• 8  fine green beans
• 3  button mushrooms
• 1⁄2 medium onion
• 60  g halloumi cheese
• 1  large carrot
• 4  tablespoons cornmeal
• 1  medium egg
• 3  tablespoons lemon juice
• 3  tablespoons milk
• 1  teaspoon hot chili powder
• 1  teaspoon honey
•  salt & pepper (to season)

Directions

1. Pre-heat your oven to 180c.
2. Chop the first four ingredients up into small cubes (as small as you can be bothered) and grate the carrot.
3. Place in a good-sized mixing bowl along with all the remaining ingredients and mix well.
4. If your mixture is a little runny then add some more cornmeal to bring it together.
5. Grease a baking tray with 1-cal spray and spoon the mixture on to form 4 good-sized patties.
6. Bake for around 30 mins or until nicely browned, turning half-way if you wish.
7. Serve hot or cold.
