Quinoa Patties
Yummy plant-based quinoa patties are great for a busy day, travel, or a midday snack. Option to remove the feta cheese and replace eggs to make this a totally vegan recipe.
Equipment
- 1 Skillet
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 Oil spritzer
Ingredients
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 1 cup Feshly 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 cup Trader Joe's 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
- 1 spritz Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Combine everything (except olive oil) in a large bowl, mix evenly.
- Heat pan to medium-high, spray the pan with olive oil (or oil of choice).
- Form patties, add to the heated skillet, cook patties on one side for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown, then flip.
- 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.
- Serve heated or cold with a dipping sauce if desired.
