Quinoa patties are a nutritious and versatile dish often associated with health-conscious cuisine. Made with quinoa, a protein-rich ancient grain originating from South America, these patties typically include wholesome ingredients like vegetables, herbs, garlic, onion, eggs, and breadcrumbs for binding, and occasionally cheese or spices for flavor. They offer a gluten-free option (when using appropriate breadcrumbs) and are packed with nutrients such as fiber, antioxidants, and essential amino acids, making them an excellent plant-based protein source. These patties are lightly pan-fried or baked, which can help retain their nutrient profile while keeping them lower in fat compared to deep-fried alternatives. Quinoa patties fit seamlessly into vegetarian and vegan diets (when egg substitutes are used) and are adaptable across a variety of cuisines, serving as a hearty appetizer, side dish, or burger substitute. However, added oils or salty toppings may impact overall healthiness.
