Preheat broiler. Line broiler pan with aluminum foil and lightly coat with oil. In a large bowl, combine and mix well
- 3/4 cup shredded zucchini
- 3/4 cup shredded carrots

- 2 large cloves garlic, minced
- 15 ounce can fat-free refried black beans
- 1/2 cup cooked brown rice
- 1/4 cup egg white
- 2 tablespoons whole grain bread crumbs

If mixture is too moist to shape, refrigerate for 1 hour before shaping.
Shape mixture into 8 patties and place on prepared pan. Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until lightly browned. These patties are great as a sandwich on a whole grain roll with lettuce, tomato, and mustard flavored mayo.
