Ingredients
  

  • 2 2/3 cups cooked quinoa
  • 4 large eggs beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1/2 small onion finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup gluten-free whole grain breadcrumbs or regular
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped carrot
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped zucchini
  • 1 tablespoon oil plus more as needed

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine quinoa, eggs, salt, and lemon pepper.
  • Stir in parsley, onion, parmesan cheese, and garlic.
  • Add breadcrumbs, chopped carrot, and zucchini. Mix well and let sit for a few minutes so the breadcrumbs absorb moisture.
  • Shape the mixture into about 20 thick patties. Adjust texture with more breadcrumbs if too wet, or a few drops of water if too dry.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Cook 5–6 patties at a time, cover, and cook for 7–10 minutes until deeply golden on the bottom.
  • Carefully flip and cook the other side for about 5 minutes until golden.
  • Remove and repeat with remaining patties, adding oil as needed. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Mixture can be refrigerated uncooked for up to 3 days
