Plant-Based Quinoa Patties W/ Spinach

Plant-Based Quinoa Patties W/ Spinach

These quinoa patties are a good grab-and-go option and one of my go-to meal prep for camping trips. Enjoy them on a road trip or midday snack at home, even better if paired with a chipotle aioli sauce 👌

Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked quinoa
• 1 cup fresh chopped spinach or kale
• 2 eggs, 2 egg whites
• 2 tbsp minced garlic
• 2 green onions
• 3/4 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup gluten-free oats
• 1/4 Trader Joes parmesan, asiago cheese blend (PRO tip: because asiago has such a strong flavor you don’t need to use much to enjoy the flavor which helps shave down extra calories and fat if that’s something you’re looking to do, otherwise feta cheese is a great option for flavor.)
• S&P to taste
• Olive oil spray

Step-By-Step Instructions

1. Combine everything (except olive oil) in a large bowl, and mix evenly.
2. Heat pan to medium-high, and spray the pan with olive oil (or oil of choice).
3. Form patties, add to the heated skillet, cook patties on one side for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown, then flip.
4. I like to smoosh each patty down a little bit with my spatula so they aren’t too thick and can cook evenly. I also push them up against the side of the pan to make sure edges are cooking too, this also helps keep a nice circular shape.
5. Serve heated or cold with a dipping sauce if desired.

Substitution & Variations

Eggs– Vegan eggs can be found in your local health food stores like Sprouts or Wholefoods. I’ve also heard people creating a mixture out of ground flaxseed or chia seeds to substitute the egg texture.

Feta Cheese:-Violife is a feta cheese-like vegan substitute. This is somewhat of a specialty item so again, check your local health food store or search your Instacart app to see where you can pick it up.

Almond flour-Almond flour has a great texture for this recipe but if you’re working with a nut allergy there are so many swaps for this; cassava flour, cashew flour, all-purpose flour, oat flour, whole wheat flour, or sunflower flour…just to name a few. Bob’s Red Mill brand has a lot to choose from and you can filter their options to your needs.
