Ingredients


2 cup Quinoa, cooked
1 cup grated Carrots
1 cup grated Zucchini
2 medium Egg
1/2 cup Green onion
1 cup Bread crumbs, plain, gluten free
1/2 tbsp Black pepper
1/2 tsp Chili powder
1/4 cup Avocado oil ((For cooking))

Instructions


Prep your veggies and cook quinoa according to package. Thinly slice green onions, shred carrots and zucchini. 

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. 

Firmly pack into ⅓ cup measurement Cup. Form with hands into patty shape.

Pre heat oil in frying pan. When hot place patties in pan and fry roughly 2 minutes per side or until desired crispiness achieved. 

For an oil free option, bake in over. Preheat to 375°. Bake for 20-30 minutes flipping half way through. Check for desired crispiness. 

Notes:

Crispy Quinoa Veggie Patties are quinoa patties made with zucchini, carrots, gluten free Panriso, and protein packed quinoa.
Serve these crispy fritters as an appetizer, snack, or main course!

TIPS: 

Remove moisture from the vegetables by sprinkling salt over the shredded zucchini and carrots, resting for 15 minutes, and removing excess moisture with a towel.

°Combine the shredded vegetables with remaining ingredients and allow to sit for 10 minutes.

°Portion the filling in equal amounts and press into ¼" patties.

Cook the quinoa a day in advance - If you like a crispier texture, make the quinoa a day ahead and let it chill overnight. This also saves time.
