Crispy Quinoa Cakes

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Mix the ground flax and water in a small bowl and set aside for 5 minutes or so to thicken.

Step 3

Combine all ingredients together in a large bowl, including the flax mixture and the 1.5 cups cooked quinoa. Stir well until the mixture comes together. Don't forget the flour because it helps bind the patties.

Step 4

Shape mixture into 1/4-cup patties with wet hands. Pack tightly so they hold together better. Place on baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake for 15 minutes, then carefully flip cakes, and bake for another 8-10 minutes until golden and firm.

Step 6

Cool for 5 minutes on the sheet and then enjoy!

Step 7

Store leftovers in a container in the fridge for up to 5-6 days. To reheat, preheat a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of oil, and cook patties for about 3 minutes per side, or until heated through.
