Steps
Peel and finely grate the carrots. If they release a lot of liquid, place them in a clean kitchen towel or colander and squeeze them lightly; the mixture should be moist but not watery.
Place the grated carrot, chopped onion, oats, egg, garlic, paprika, and cumin in a large bowl.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix with a spatula or clean hands until all the ingredients are evenly distributed and the mixture can be compacted.
Let the mixture rest for 5 to 10 minutes so the oats can absorb some of the moisture. If it is still too loose, add 1 or 2 more tablespoons of oats.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape into patties approximately 1.5 cm thick, pressing firmly so they do not fall apart when flipped.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the burgers, leaving space between them.
Cook the burgers for 4 or 5 minutes on the first side, without moving them too much, until the base is golden and firm.
Flip each burger with a wide spatula. Cook for another 4 or 5 minutes, until the second side is golden and the center feels firm.
Toast the buns if using. Serve each burger in a bun with lettuce and tomato, or serve with a salad to keep the dish light.
Notes
The visible post only indicates that these are easy, low-calorie carrot burgers; the quantities and method were estimated. For an even lighter version, cook the burgers in a nonstick skillet with very little oil and serve them without buns.
