Beet Cutlets/ Tikkis/ Patties
These Beet Cutlets (also called tikkis or patties) are packed with Potatoes, Beets, Green Peas and Carrots and are truly a powerhouse! It's a great way to use up veggies and is a perfect little snack to take it with you on the go. This was actually my favorite school lunchbox snack and I recall being very fascinated with the pinkish red colored, heart shaped patties. It is a great appetizer to bring along to a party or make a big batch of as part of your meal prep. This recipe is Whole30, Plant-based Whole30, Vegan and Gluten-free.

Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Combine all ingredients in the list above (except the oil and slurry ingredients) and mix well.
- Form into patties; whatever shape you like (I like shaping them into hearts) and refrigerate for at least half an hour. Refrigerating is essential to avoid the patties from breaking.
- Have 2 containers ready: one with the arrowroot slurry and the other with the almond flour.
- Heat oil in a pan. Dip the patties in arrowroot slurry, then coat in almond flour and transfer to the heated pan.
- Fry it on medium heat for 3-4 mins on each side until golden brown and then remove on an absorbent paper towel.
- Serve hot with Green chutney (Cilantro-Mint Chutney) and ketchup as a snack, use as burger patties wrapped in lettuce or add to your meal plate. Enjoy!
Notes
To bake, preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Brush cooking oil to evenly coat the parchment paper. Place the ‘breaded’ patties and brush oil on the patties. Cook for about 20-30 mins until done and golden brown, flipping them halfway through. To air fry, follow the same instructions for breading. Then air fry at 400F for 10-15 mins, flipping halfway through. Storing - You can store these in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and freeze them for up to 3 months.
