Tips & Tricks (5)

Squeeze Your Swiss Chard Dry 🥬
After chopping, place swiss chard in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture to prevent soggy treats and ensure proper binding with the egg and matzo meal.
Toast Sesame Seeds First 🌱
Lightly toast sesame seeds in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes before adding to enhance their nutty flavor and prevent them from becoming bitter during baking.
Chill the Mixture Before Shaping 🧊
Refrigerate your mixture for 15-20 minutes before forming patties; this helps them hold their shape better during cooking and prevents spreading.
Freeze on a Sheet Pan First ❄️
Place shaped green treats on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze individually for 2-3 hours before transferring to freezer bags to prevent them from sticking together.
Bloom Your Garlic Powder in Oil 🧄
Mix garlic powder with your oil before adding to the mixture to allow the flavor to bloom and distribute more evenly throughout the treats for balanced seasoning.
