Ingredients

Cooked quinoa

2 cups

Parmesan cheese

1 cup, grated

Egg

1, beaten

Breadcrumbs

Garlic powder

1 teaspoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Black pepper

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, grated Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Form the mixture into patties, about 1/4 cup each, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the quinoa patties, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
4. Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
5. Serve the Parmesan crusted quinoa patties hot, alongside the garlic yogurt dipping sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
