I run a healthy living group on Facebook. The other day there was a discussion about some Quinoa Spinach Patties from Costco. They sounded amazing, but the ingredients were less than desirable. So I decided to attempt a homemade version of Quinoa Spinach Patties based on the ingredient list. They came out delicious! This recipe is very easy to make too.
You can eat these Quinoa Spinach Patties on a bun like you would a veggie burger. Or you can serve them as is with a side of veggies. I topped mine with a little avocado and ate them with some roasted vegetables. I am not a big bread fan, so I preferred them without the bun. These patties would also be good on top of a salad or in a lettuce wrap. So yum! These quinoa patties are vegan and gluten free.
