Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, cooked lentils, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Add the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley to the quinoa-lentil mixture. Stir until everything is well combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
-
Using your hands, shape the mixture into patties of your desired size. Make sure to compact the mixture so the patties hold their shape during cooking.
-
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
-
Once the patties are cooked through and crispy on the outside, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
-
Serve the Quinoa and Lentil Patties warm with your favorite dipping sauce or toppings.
