Preparation

Step 1

Rinse rice. In a small saucepan, bring water to boil. Add rice, cover, and cook according to directions. When rice is done cooking, set aside.

Preheat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Using your food processor, pulse sunflower seeds about 10 times, just enough to break the kernels up. Add brown rice, carrots, garlic and salt. Alternate between pulsing and processing every 10 seconds until mixture begins to clump together. The key is that you want to keep the texture, but they also need to hold together.

Form mixture into patties(according to Dayv, the patties should be as flat as possible so you can pile on the toppings). Place on prepared baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping after 10 minutes. Remove from oven and serve immediately(maybe like this)! Wrap any leftovers in aluminum foil and store in the freezer for later. Enjoy ;)
