Veggie Burgers

I made this for Isaac and he really liked it! I used mushrooms instead of carrots because that is what I had. I couldn't help but eat some myself, they were much yummier than I had anticipated!

Ingredients:
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small onion, grated
2 cloves crushed garlic
2 carrots, shredded
1 small summer squash, shredded
1 small zucchini, shredded
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

Directions:
1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over low heat, and cook the onion and garlic for about 5 minutes, until tender. Mix in the carrots, squash, and zucchini. Continue to cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat, and mix in oats, cheese, and egg. Stir in soy sauce, transfer the mixture to a bowl, and refrigerate 1 hour.
2. Preheat the skillet for medium heat. (I added a little olive oil)
3. Place the flour on a large plate. Form the vegetable mixture into eight 3 inch round patties. Drop each patty into the flour, lightly coating both sides.
4. Cook patties 5 minutes on each side, or until heated through and nicely browned.

5. You can serve it on a bun for older kids, but I just melted some cheese on top of the patty and cut it up into pieces for Isaac.
