These Crunchy Quinoa Veggie Patties are a delicious, protein-packed, plant-based alternative to traditional burgers. Crispy on the outside and tender inside, they’re made with quinoa, veggies, spices, and a flax egg for a wholesome and flavorful vegetarian meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa (from 1/2 cup dry)
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 2 1/2 tablespoons water (flax egg)
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped spinach
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chickpea flour (or all-purpose or oat flour)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Oil for pan-frying (avocado oil or olive oil)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the flax egg by mixing ground flaxseed with water and letting it thicken for 5–10 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, shredded carrot, chopped spinach, onion, garlic, chickpea flour, flax egg, and all seasonings.
  3. Mix until fully combined. Adjust texture by adding more flour if too wet or a splash of water if too dry.
  4. Form the mixture into patties about 1/2 inch thick.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat with a tablespoon of oil.
  6. Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm.

Notes

  • These patties can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • They freeze well, so you can make a batch ahead of time.
