- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Rinse the quinoa under running water for 2 minutes to remove its natural bitterness.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the quinoa, then reduce the heat to low.
Step 3
Cover the saucepan and let the quinoa simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.
Step 4
Remove from heat, fluff the quinoa with a fork, and let it cool for a few minutes.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, almond flour, eggs, Parmesan cheese, green onions, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until a cohesive mixture forms.
Step 7
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 8
Take approximately 1/4 cup of the mixture and shape it into a patty.
Step 9
Carefully place the patty into the skillet. Repeat the process with the remaining mixture.
Step 10
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 11
Transfer the cooked patties onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Step 12
Serve warm and enjoy these tasty keto-friendly quinoa patties!
