Delicious Diet Vegetable Cakes

 

These golden nuggets are delicious, low in fat, low in calories and can be a healthy part of your diet. Dip is light or low calorie ranch dressing, if desired.

 

Ingredients for this low calorie, low fat recipe are:

3 cups of grated vegetables

2 egg whites

salt & pepper to personal taste

dash or two of your favorite seasoning - totally optional

2 Tablespoons of white OR wheat flour

non stick cooking spray

 

Begin by grating up an assortment of your favorite vegetables. Examples include: carrots, mushrooms, squash, bell pepper, onion, corn, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, pinched spinach, cooked drained beans, potatoes. Be sure to use clean vegetables, and to drain your vegetables. Water tends to create splattering in the pan while cooking.

Spray a skillet with the cooking spray and while it heats, mix the vegetable cakes in a bowl.

Form flat little patties and carefully place into the pan. Cook until golden on one side before flipping, then turn and cook on the other side until golden brown. Be careful not to disturb your patties as they cook because they are very fragile.

 

Calories: Without the dressing, using these veggies - mushrooms, squash, bell pepper, onion, carrots, cabbage & asparagus, the ENTIRE recipe contains 125 calories. Adding potatoes and corn will up your calorie count.
