I loved the flavor of these, but they did not stick together. Another egg would have helped. I added green onion because I didn't have enough carrot and I dipped them in soy sauce.

THANK YOU HAGGITH! I am a carrot freak and am always looking for simple, flavorful carrot recipes. Boy do I love these! I prepared them basically as written (used whole wheat bread crumbs and a GIGANTIC clove of garlic - about the size of 3 average cloves). I saw that I was out of regular vegetable oil so I used my olive oil. YUM! I think frying in olive oil and using the giant garlic clove were the two keys to success here. I served topped with plain yogurt and walnuts. Those of you who thought they were bland and added all kinds of spices, and gooped them up with chili sauce and soy sauce and who-knows-what should try frying them in olive oil and letting the delicious flavor of these patties through! I am also confused about why some thought they fell apart. I had no trouble with that.

Yum - I loved this.. and so did my husband and 1 1/2 year old! I made it just as written, but I lightly cooked the garlic first to make it a little more subtle. I would definitely make this again. I might even grate some other veggies into it if I have them around. But it is delicious just with carrots!

This is a great recipe. I mixed it up a lot and added onion, mushroom and jalapenio. A lot more garlic and salt and pepper with a bit of cayenne for some additional kick. This was delicious over rice! I am amking it again and instead of cayenne I'll use Curry as the flavores seem like they'll really blend.

I had trouble getting the patties to hold together. I thought they were a little bland. I like the basic recipe, though, and I'll try some adjustments to suit myself. Thanks!

I found this somewhat tasteless, even though I added onion and Jalapeno pepper. However it did hold up well, and I will try again perhaps adding chil.

We love this recipe but it's way too much sodium for my husband who has congestive heart failure. Most bread crumbs are also too high in sodium. I use 1/4 c. cracker meal instead of the crumbs, and a Mrs. Dash seasoning such as Lemon Pepper or Herbs and Garlic. I also use matchstick carrots; sometimes I use them "as is" which makes an interesting patty. I also give them a whirl in my food processor if I want to avoid the "haystack" look. AND they make a great veggie burger on a whole grain bun! My 3 and 5 year-old grandkids ate and loved them.

very good recipe. my kids really enjoyed it and they were easy to make. for adults, a bit too bland and i would have liked to have a dipping sauce recipe along with the patties. i made mine into about 2 inch rounds to serve as side items.

I liked them though my daughter was a little less sure. I think they could have used a little more flavor but they make a great starting off point and are pretty yummy by themselves. My daughter ate hers with a little maple syrup and I mashed together 2 tbs avacado and 1 tbs sour cream as a topping. Applesauce would work as well (just like potato pancakes). I think that next time I will use a variety of shredded veggies like potatoes, zucchini, and/or parsnips. I think it would also have benefitted from some sauted onion or leek.
