These Crunchy Quinoa Veggie Patties are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with quinoa, vegetables, and herbs. They’re a perfect plant-based option for a main dish, snack, or veggie burger that’s gluten-free and easy to make.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup grated zucchini (squeezed dry)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 eggs or 2 flax eggs (for vegan)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (gluten-free if needed)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for pan-frying

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, shredded carrots, grated zucchini, green onions, garlic, eggs (or flax eggs), breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
  2. Form the mixture into 6–8 small patties with your hands.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  4. Cook the patties in batches for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and crisp.
  5. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
  6. Serve warm with dip, in a bun, or on a salad.

Notes

  • Add corn, spinach, or chopped herbs for variety.
  • Mix in smoked paprika, cumin, or nutritional yeast for extra flavor.
  • Serve with avocado, hummus, or yogurt sauce for dipping.
  • Can be baked at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes instead of pan-fried.
