Cheesy Quinoa Patties with Kale and Spinach
  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/4 onion, chopped
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped kale

  • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal (optional)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil


  1. Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Add salt, black pepper, and garlic. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat; add onion. Cook and stir until translucent, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add kale and spinach to hot skillet; cook and stir until tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Combine cooked quinoa, onions, kale, spinach, mozzarella cheese, bread crumbs, and flaxseed meal in a bowl; stir to combine. Add beaten egg; mix well.
  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Oil a baking sheet.
  5. Form golf-ball-size portions of the quinoa mixture into patties. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and crusty, about 15 minutes per side.
