- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped, with 2 tablespoons of water. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Drain any excess water.
- Finely dice 1/2 cup fresh carrot.
- Finely chop 1/4 cup fresh parsley, removing stems.

- Mix thoroughly until a patty-like consistency is formed. Add more bread crumbs if needed to achieve desired texture.
- Shape the mixture into 6-8 patties.
- Lightly spray both sides of each patty with olive oil or canola oil and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 minutes.
- Flip the patties and bake for an additional 9 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately on buns with your favorite toppings (mustard, tomato, lettuce) or with a side of cucumber-soy yogurt dip.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
