Ingredients:
- 5-6 medium carrots
- 1 cup pecans
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (ACV)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup shredded dried coconut
- 2 pitted dates
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup purified water
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoons African Firey Rub (same spice used for bread and cheese posted earlier)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Preparation:
- Start by grinding the carrots into a pulp using a food processor.
- Add the pecans to the food processor and mix well with the carrot pulp.
- Next, incorporate the remaining ingredients, starting with the apple cider vinegar.
- Slowly add purified water while mixing to achieve the desired consistency. The mixture should hold together but not be too wet.
- Add the sea salt, African Firey Rub, and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly.
- Using an ice cream scoop, large spoon, or your hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and shape them into patties.
- Place the patties on dehydrator trays. If you prefer a more moist burger, dehydrate for about 8-10 hours, flipping them over halfway through. For a crisper patty with longer shelf life, dehydrate for a longer duration.
- Once ready, serve the Spicy Carrot Burgers warm or cold. Get creative and enjoy them as a salad topper, a meaty component of your favorite sandwich, or as a classic burger.

- Top a fresh green salad with Spicy Carrot Burgers for a nutritious and satisfying meal.
