Add the shredded carrots and sunflower seed meal to the bowl with the egg. Gently mix until well combined.
Season with salt and pepper to taste (optional).
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Drop heaping tablespoons of the carrot-sunflower mixture into the hot skillet, flattening slightly with a spoon.
