I love how simple these gluten-free quinoa and beetroot patties are to throw together. They need one bowl to mix everything in and that's it! I usually make a batch and then add to my meals along the week, so delicious and simple!
Ingredients
  • 150g (1 cup / about 1 medium) grated raw beetroot
  • 200g (1½ cups) cooked quinoa
  • 30 g (1/3 cup) quinoa flakes (oats would work as well)
  • 40g (1/3 cup) grated pecorino (optional)
  • 3 eggs
  • 125 ml (1/2 cup) kale or spinach leaves, chopped
  • Small handful basil leaves, chopped
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) chopped dill
  • 40ml (2 tbsp) chopped chives
  • Salt + pepper
Instructions
  1. Add your ingredients into a large bowl and mix together using your hands.
  2. It should be a sticky, slightly wet mixture. If you find yours is too wet, add some extra quinoa flakes.
  3. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  4. In the meantime preheat your oven to 200ºC / 395ºF and line a baking tray with baking parchment.
  5. Take your bowl out of the fridge and use your hands to form 8 patties, adding them to your baking tray as you go.
  6. Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until cooked through and slightly crunchy on top.
  7. Serve in alongside a salad (was amazing with my kale salad!), avocado, seeds, or simply in a bun.
  8. Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container or freeze.
Notes
DAIRY FREE- Simply omit the pecorino and add more beetroot, quinoa, or quinoa flakes to the mix.

VEGAN - Omit the pecorino and use a chia seed egg gel instead and add more quinoa flakes. I have not personally tried this, but I think it would work.
