It’s well nigh impossible for anyone who doesn’t have a track record — for example, the winner of cooking contests, a cook with a successful, popular restaurant, a published cookbook or a successful food product on the market — to sell their product. The question you have to answer for me is, “why should I pay for the recipe of a complete unknown if I can’t at least read through it?” But then, if I can read through it I can try it. And if I don’t like it, I won’t pay for it.
It’s tough. You have to start somewhere, but I don’t think that somewhere is selling recipes.
No one buys a single recipe. You need to write a cook book and sell that. Check out a book called “How to write a cook book” from your library. It’s an obvious title but the book gets good reviews.
By the way, you copyright a recipe, you don’t patent it.

Instead of selling the recipe, make the product and sell it. Create a web site.
