Banana Peel Burgers

With the peel of the banana you can make yummy burger patties! Nutritious and delicious. A great substitute for meat and super sustainable – I’ll never ever throw away peels in the garbage can again!

Ingredients:

Peels ready and banana chopped
to be freezed for ice cream

4 banana peels, thoroughly rinsed/washed and then chopped
Approx. 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour (gluten-free, if you want)
1 small carrot, grated
1 medium onion, chopped
1 small green pepper, chopped
1 TBS Cajun seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
1 cup olive oil
1 cup gluten-free oat flour
½ cup teff flour


Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line your baking sheet with a silicon mat or parchment paper. Set aside.

2. Blend all ingredients (except oat and teff flours) until it becomes a wet dough. You don’t have to over process them.

3. Pour mix into a big bowl and then add the flours.

4. Make patties and put them on the lined sheet. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
