Servings 10 patties

Ingredients
  

  • ⅔ cup shredded zucchini
  • 3 cups cooked quinoa
  • ⅓ cup grated sweet onion
  • 3 teaspoons minced garlic, about 3 cloves
  • 1 and ¼ cups Panko breadcrumbs
  • 5 large eggs, beaten
  • 3 Tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 and ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Place the shredded zucchini in a bowl lined with a double-layer of paper towels. Set aside.
  • 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 ⅓-1/2 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.
  • Scoop ⅓-1/2 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.
  • Serve plain, in a pita, on a salad, as a burger etc. There are so many ways to enjoy these!
