Notes
- Storage: Store the patties in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until warmed through.
- Freezing Instructions: You can freeze the quinoa burgers before cooking by placing them on a baking sheet in the freezer. When frozen, transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag and keep for 3 months.
- Baking Instructions: Place the patties on a greased baking dish and bake for 15 minutes at 400°F. Then flip and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
- Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
- Recipe Inspiration: This recipe adapted from Chocolate Covered Katie.
- Instead of quinoa, you can use cooked brown rice instead.
- Instead of black beans, you can use other types of beans like pinto beans or kidney beans.
- Instead of breadcrumbs, you can use panko breadcrumbs or all-purpose flour or almond flour. This helps to bind the burger and give it structure.
