Instructions
- 01
Preheat oven to 400F / 200C.
- 02
Combine the quinoa, eggs, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in the chives, dill, kale, onion, garlic, and cumin. Stir well.
- 03
Add the baking powder and bread crumbs, stir, and let sit for a few minutes so the crumbs can absorb some of the moisture. Gently stir in the feta.
- 04
At this point, you should have a mixture you can easily form into twelve 1-inch / 2.5cm thick patties. Use about 1/2 cup of the quinoa mixture per patty. I err on the very moist side because it makes for a not-overly-dry patty, but you can add more bread crumbs, a bit at a time, to firm up the mixture, if need be. Conversely, a bit more beaten egg or water can be used to moisten the mixture. If you're still having trouble getting the mixture to hold - mix in flour, a couple tablespoons at a time.
- 05
Oil a baking sheet, and arrange the patties with a bit of space between each. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if you like. Bake for ~20 minutes, or until the bottoms are brown. Flip and bake for another 5 minutes. Enjoy hot, or allow to cool to room temperature on a cooling rack.

Variations & swaps
Variations:
- As long as your base ingredients (quinoa, eggs, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs) hold together into a patty, you can play around with different accents and ingredients. Here are a few ideas I’ve had success with over the years.
- Za’atar Quinoa Patties: Follow the recipe as follows, adding 1 tablespoon of za’atar to quinoa mixture. This is a favorite, especially along with a sesame crust.
- Lemon Madras Quinoa Patties: Skip some of the herbs and stir in 2 teaspoons Madras curry powder and the slivered zest of one large lemon.
- Gluten-free Quinoa Patties: Niki commented, “I substitute ground almonds or walnuts for the bread crumbs - works perfectly.”
- Brussels Sprout Quinoa Patties: VL noted,”I just want to say I made these for a trip this weekend, but used brussels sprouts instead of the kale. They were great!” I can also imagine finely chopped cabbage working brilliantly as well, along similar lines.
- There are a bunch of other great substitution ideas down in the comments as well.
