These simple crispy quinoa patties are so versatile and a great meatless option that even meat eaters will love! Make them at the beginning of the week to enjoy for lunches or dinner!

Ingredients

Units
  • 2/3 cup shredded zucchini
  • 3 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1/3 cup grated sweet onion
  • 3 teaspoons minced garlic, about 3 cloves
  • 1 and 1/4 cups Panko breadcrumbs
  • 5 large eggs, beaten
  • 3 Tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Place the shredded zucchini in a bowl lined with a double-layer of paper towels. Set aside.
  2. Combine the quinoa, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, eggs, parsley, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Stir together using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until combined. Then, stir in the shredded zucchini. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes for the breadcrumbs absorb some of the moisture.
    Scoop 1/3-1/2 cup of the mixture and form the mixture into patties. Cook the patties until deeply brown on both side— be careful when flipping the patties over.
  3. Scoop 1/3-1/2 cup of the mixture and form the mixture into patties. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat, add 4 patties at a time. Allow the patties to cook for 7-8 minutes until the bottom is deeply browned. Carefully flip the patties over and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until browned. Remove from the skillet and allow to on a plate while you cook the remaining patties. Add more oil to the skillet if needed between each batch.
  4. Serve plain, in a pita, on a salad, as a burger etc. There are so many ways to enjoy these!

Notes

Likewise, pre-shaped uncooked patties can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cooked patties stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Freeze cooked patties individually then in a large zip-topped bag for up to 3 months.
  2. Breadcrumbs: Regular breadcrumbs can be used in place of Panko.
