Quinoa and Zucchini Burgers

Serves 4

• 1 1/2 C cooked quinoa

• 1 medium zucchini, grated

• 1 C chopped mint

• 2 eggs, lightly beaten

• 1 C gluten-free flour (all-purpose flour works)

• Sea salt

• Freshly ground black pepper

• Optional: avocado, onions, lettuce, tomato vinaigrette

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the quinoa, zucchini, mint, eggs, flour, salt and black pepper. Flour your hands and gently form the mixture into 4-5 patties about 1/2″ thick.

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a cast-iron or nonstick skillet and cook the patties on medium heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the patties are golden in color. I served mine with tomato vinaigrette, some smashed avocado, and lettuce.
