Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Delicious Crunchy Quinoa Veggie Patties
  1. Grate the zucchini and carrot using a kitchen grater, aiming for fine shreds. Squeeze out excess moisture to avoid soggy patties.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, grated zucchini, grated carrot, and lightly mashed chickpeas. Add in the chopped bell pepper and sliced green onions, mixing gently.
  3. Sprinkle in the breadcrumbs, crack in the egg (or prepared flax egg), and pour in the soy sauce with garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and salt and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Dampen your hands and shape the mixture into patties approximately 2-3 inches in diameter. Ensure uniform sizes for even cooking.
  5. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side until golden-brown. Alternatively, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes.
  6. Transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels and allow to cool before serving.
