In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa has absorbed all the water and is tender. Fluff it with a fork and let it cool slightly.
Prepare the Vegetables:
While the quinoa is cooking, grate the carrots, chop the spinach, and finely chop the onion and garlic. These colorful vegetables not only enhance the flavor but also provide essential nutrients to your patties.
Mix the Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, grated carrots, chopped spinach, onion, and garlic. Add the gluten-free breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, Parmesan cheese (if using), salt, pepper, and dried herbs. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. The mixture should be moist but hold together when formed into patties.
Form the Patties:
