About this recipe
Gluten-free veggie patties with yoghurt dressing are a Thermomix TM7 recipe that turns simple root vegetables and fresh produce into a satisfying vegetarian main course. Searching for a quick weeknight dinner or a meat-free lunchbox idea that the whole family enjoys? These patties combine sweet potato, mixed peppers, leeks and celeriac into crisp golden cakes, bound with ground linseeds instead of flour, so they are completely gluten-free. The all-in-one kitchen machine chops the vegetables uniformly in seconds, which is exactly what these patties need: pieces of equal size ensure even cooking and a stable texture. A tangy dressing of yoghurt, freshly squeezed lemon juice and a touch of chilli adds freshness that balances the sweetness of the potato. Serve the patties warm with a salad, tuck them into a gluten-free wrap, or pack them cold for lunch the next day.
Preparation tips
- Squeeze the chopped vegetable mixture firmly before shaping the patties; removing excess moisture from the sweet potato and leeks prevents them from falling apart during frying and gives a firmer bite.
- Let the shaped patties rest in the fridge before frying so the ground linseeds can absorb moisture and act as a natural binder, replacing the gluten that flour would normally provide.
- For a milder family version, leave out the fresh chilli and let everyone add a dash of hot sauce to their own yoghurt dressing at the table; children then enjoy the same patties as the adults.
Recipe variations
- Make the recipe fully dairy-free by replacing the yoghurt dressing with a blended cashew and lemon cream prepared in the mixing bowl; soaked cashews with lemon juice and a pinch of salt create a similarly tangy, lactose-free sauce for the patties.
- For a festive autumn variation, swap the mixed peppers for grated pumpkin and add a spoonful of ground cumin to the patty mixture; serve the celeriac patties with a yoghurt dressing enriched with fresh coriander at a seasonal gathering.
Thermomix TM7 Benefits

- In seconds the TM7 chops the leeks, peppers and celeriac into uniform pieces, replacing ten minutes of manual knife work without tears. [Time Savings]
- Grinding the linseeds finely creates a natural gluten-free binder that holds the veggie patties together during frying. [Multi-Function]
- Steaming the sweet potato in the Varoma keeps it soft and flavourful inside the patties while preserving more of its natural taste than boiling. [Multi-Function]
- Whipping the yoghurt, lemon juice and salt into a silky dressing takes mere moments and delivers a lump-free sauce poured straight over the warm patties. [Multi-Function]
