Delicious Quinoa Fritters

Ingredients 0/11

Step 1

Bring the vegetable broth, water, and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Once it’s boiling, lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer until the quinoa is tender and all the liquid is absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes. Spread the cooked quinoa out on a large plate or tray to cool.

Step 2

While the quinoa is cooling, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a big skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, zucchini, and carrot, and cook them, stirring occasionally, until the onion turns translucent—this usually takes around 3 to 5 minutes. Once done, transfer the veggies to a plate and let them cool down.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the cooled veggies with about 3 cups of the cooled quinoa. Season everything with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to your taste. Then, add the eggs and ground oats to the bowl and mix it all together until it forms a nice, sticky mixture.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into roughly 14 equal portions and shape each one into a small patty.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties in batches, cooking them until they’re golden brown on each side—about 2 minutes per side. Add more oil between batches if you need to keep the skillet from sticking. Serve warm and enjoy!
