Recipe

Air fryer beetroot walnut patties

Air fryer beetroot walnut patties with oats and egg. Dry cooked beetroot without vinegar well and let the mixture rest before shaping flat patties.

Ingredients

2 servings

Method

  1. 1

    Prepare

    Dry beetroot thoroughly and coarsely grate. Finely chop onion and walnuts so large pieces do not break out of the patties.

  2. 2

    Mix and shape

    Mix with oats, egg, mustard, salt and pepper and rest about 15 minutes. Shape four patties about 1.5 cm thick. Brush thinly with oil and arrange on a suitable lightly greased insert, using only the measured oil.

  3. 3

    Cook

    If required by the manufacturer, preheat for 3 minutes at 180 °C. Bake spaced apart about 20 minutes at 180 °C, turning gently halfway with a broad spatula. Red colour remains; check the densest centre rather than waiting for a brown colour change. Check that the thickest part reaches at least 70 °C for 2 minutes; continue cooking if needed.

  4. 4

    Check and serve

    Let firm briefly and serve two patties each. They stay soft inside but should hold together. For a small basket, cook in sequence and allow extra time.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ about Air fryer beetroot walnut patties

Not equivalently. Vinegar, sugar and liquid change seasoning and binding; this version uses plain beetroot.

That is beetroot colour, not a reliable sign of raw egg. Check safe heating separately.

They absorb liquid and bind beetroot with egg. Immediate shaping gives a softer mixture.

No, these are moist vegetable patties. Long extra baking dries edges without making a true chip texture.
