Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a mixing bowl, combine the grated carrot, grated zucchini, finely chopped onion, finely chopped bell pepper, and minced garlic. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Mash the Chickpeas

    In another bowl, mash the drained chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked quinoa to the mashed chickpeas, followed by the prepared vegetables. Mix everything until well combined.

Binding and Seasoning

  1. 4

    Add Binders and Seasonings

    Stir in the breadcrumbs, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper into the mixture. If using, beat the egg (or prepare flax egg) and add it to the mixture. Combine well to form a cohesive mixture.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Shape the Patties

    Using your hands, shape the mixture into patties (about 1/2 inch thick). You should get about 6-8 patties depending on the size.

  2. 6

    Cook on the Stove

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the patties into the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Remove the patties from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, or avocado.
