Spinach and Quinoa Patties
These vegetarian patties make a delicious main, perfect with an egg on top or serve them along a salad. And because they make a lot, they are also great to make ahead for meal prep!

These Spinach and Quinoa Patties make enough for several meals which makes them perfect for meal prep. I had one topped with a poached egg for breakfast which was super yummy. The rest I served as a main course for dinner with a big avocado salad and felt quite satisfied. I can’t help thinking how good this would be with melted cheese on top in place of a burger to make it more of a veggie-quinoa burger. Another bonus, these quinoa patties are inexpensive to make, and can be adapted for gluten-free diets. This recipe was adapted from Heidi Swanson’s cookbook Super Natural Every Day. Her original recipe calls for kale, but since I made them on a whim, all I had was spinach and that worked out just fine. My (meat-loving) husband even thought they were great.
Variations:
Swap the spinach for kale Make them dairy free by swapping the Parmesan cheese for nutritional yeast. If you prefer to bake them, Bake in a preheated oven 375 for 8 to 10 minutes on each side. If you have an Instant Pot, you can use this foolproof Instant Pot Quinoa Recipe.
