01
Step 1
Start by bringing the vegetable broth, water, and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Once it’s boiling, lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Spread the cooked quinoa out on a large plate or tray to cool.

Step 2
While the quinoa is cooling, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a big skillet over medium heat. Toss in the onion, zucchini, and carrot, and cook them until the onion turns translucent, which should take around 3 to 5 minutes. Once done, transfer the veggies to a plate and let them cool.

Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the cooled veggies with about 3 cups of the quinoa. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Then add in the eggs and ground oats, stirring everything together until it forms a mixture that holds together well.

Step 4
Divide the mixture into about 14 even portions and shape each into a little patty. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat, then fry the patties in batches, cooking them for about 2 minutes on each side until they’re nicely browned. Add more oil if you need it between batches. Enjoy!
