EASY SAVORY CARROT BALLS

Steps:

• Start by preparing flax egg: in a small bowl whisk together ground flaxseeds with about 8 tablespoons of water. Let rest for 5 minutes to thicken.
• Add flax egg and rest of the ingredients to a large bowl and mix well together. If you prefer a smoother finish, you can also add the mixture to a food processor and pulse a few times. Adjust seasoning if needed, then cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile preheat the oven to 200°C/400ºF. Form mixture into small balls with wet hands (use about 2 tablespoons of mixture per ball), and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
• Alternatively, fry them in hot oil until crispy, about 3-3 minutes each side. Enjoy!
