Easy Mini Veggie Rice Patties For Kids Recipe That Kids Love

2 cups Cooked Rice (Use day-old rice for better binding)

1 cup Mixed Vegetables (Finely chopped carrots, peas, and corn)

½ cup Grated Cheese (Melts inside for creaminess)

1 large Egg (Acts as a binder)

½ cup Breadcrumbs (Adds crispiness)

1 teaspoon Mild Spices (A pinch of paprika or cumin)

1 tablespoon Olive Oil or Vegetable Oil (For pan-frying patties)

2 tablespoons Chopped Herbs (Fresh parsley or cilantro)

½ teaspoon Garlic Powder (Optional for flavor)

In a large bowl, stir together cooked rice, veggies, cheese, egg, breadcrumbs, and spices to form the base.
Use a 2-inch cookie scoop or your hands to press the rice mixture into small patties. Make sure they’re compact.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add patties and cook until golden brown, about 3–4 minutes per side.
Transfer cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up excess oil. Let them rest for 1 minute.
Arrange the mini patties on a platter with favorite dips like ketchup or yogurt sauce.
