Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Begin by spiralizing the zucchini. Don’t have a spiralizer? No worries, you can simply grate the zucchini using the large holes on a box grater.
  2. Combine the zucchini, quinoa, corn and green onions in a large bowl.
  3. Next, mash the chickpeas. I used a food processor to mash mine, which made it quick and easy, but the good ol’ fork mashing with your hand method works also!
  4. Add the chickpeas, dijon mustard, garlic and cumin to the zucchini quinoa mixture.
  5. Combine everything together.
  6. Use your hands to form into 8 patties.
  7. Cook in a cast iron skillet on the stove, or on a grill.
  8. Cook for 7-10 minutes per side over medium heat, then flip.
  9. Cook for an additional 7-10 minutes.
