Components:
One cup of washed quinoa
two cups of water
half a cup of carrots, grated
half a cup of spinach, cut finely
1/4 cup of onion, chopped finely
two minced garlic cloves
1/2 cup of breadcrumbs free of gluten
two big, beaten eggs
1/4 cup of optionally grated Parmesan cheese
One tsp salt
half a teaspoon of pepper, black
One teaspoon of dried herbs, such as thyme or oregano
Two tsp olive oil
Guidelines:
Prepare the Quinoa:
Place two cups of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a
simmer. After adding the quinoa, lower the heat to a simmer.
Once the quinoa has absorbed all of the water and become tender, simmer it covered for approximately fifteen minutes. Using a fork, fluff and allow to cool somewhat.
Get the veggies ready:
Grate the carrots, finely cut the onion and garlic, and chop the spinach as the quinoa cooks.
These veggies give your burgers more taste, color, and nutrition.
Combine the ingredients:
The cooked quinoa, chopped spinach, grated carrots, onion, and garlic should all be combined in a big bowl.
Add the beaten eggs, dried herbs, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese (if using) to the gluten-free breadcrumbs mixture.
Stir thoroughly to ensure that all the ingredients are well combined. When shaped into patties, the mixture should be wet but still hold together. Structure
Air fryer amethod:
Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Air Fry: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray or any cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the quinoa patties in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each patty. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.
Cook: Air fry the quinoa patties at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Serve: Once cooked, remove the quinoa patties from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. You can enjoy them on their own, with a dipping sauce, or as part of a burger or salad.
