Ingredients
- 16 oz. mushrooms chopped
- 1 small zucchini grated
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided
- 2 cups cooked quinoa (3/4 cup dry)
- plenty of salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper or more, if you like spicy!
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup green onions chopped
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs preferably whole wheat
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook quinoa according to directions, if it's not already cooked.
- Sauté mushrooms and grated zucchini in 2 tablespoons olive oil with a generous pinch of salt over medium-high heat. Stir only once in the beginning, and allow liquid from vegetables to evaporate. Continue cooking until vegetables are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Mix cooked quinoa, sautéed vegetables, and all remaining ingredients (except for the extra olive oil) in a medium-sized bowl.
- Form 6-8 patties with the mixture and fry over medium-high heat in 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a nonstick skillet. Cook for 2-4 minutes on each side, or until browned.
- Move patties to parchment covered baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
Notes
- If the mixture seems too sticky and won't hold together, try either adding more breadcrumbs or refrigerating the mixture for a couple of hours before forming the patties.
- The amount of time this recipe takes to make will vary based on if you already have cooked quinoa, how much water there is in the veggies (which affects time it takes for them to sauté), and of course speed and efficiency in the kitchen.
- The provided nutrition information does not include any added sodium from seasoning to taste, any optional ingredients, and it does not take brands into account. Feel free to calculate it yourself using this calculator or by adding the recipe to Yummly.
