Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by grating the zucchini and carrot using a box grater. Squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, grated zucchini, grated carrot, and lightly mashed chickpeas. Mix well.
  3. Incorporate breadcrumbs, the egg (or flax egg), and soy sauce. Add garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until cohesive.
  4. Shape the mixture into 2-3 inch round patties. If sticky, dampen hands with water.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Alternatively, bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes.
  6. Transfer cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Let cool and serve with favorite dips or greens.
