Crispy Quinoa Patties are a versatile, meatless option. Filled with spinach and spices make these healthy, filling, and tasty. Freezer friendly and great for meal prep!.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 small red onion, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, can substitute other cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Make the Patties

  1. Cook the Quinoa. Cook the quinoa according to package directions.
  2. Toss the Hot Quinoa with Spinach. In a large bowl, toss together the hot quinoa with the chopped spinach so the spinach wilts and is combined. 
  3. Add the remaining patty ingredients. Add the eggs, onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, breadcrumbs, and cheese. Mix together an allow mixture to sit for a few minutes so the liquid absorbs. The mixture should be moist enough to form into patties.
  4. Form patties. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture and form into patties using your hands. It will be a little sticky and I find using wet hands helps.

Cook the Patties

  1. Skillet Directions. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 8-10 minutes on each side (covered) until browned and golden. Serve and enjoy!
  2. Oven Directions. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place patties on a baking sheet and brush tops with oil. Bake in preheated oven for about 15 minutes until golden. Serve and enjoy!
