1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.

2 In a high-speed blender, add all ingredients and pulse until well combined. You want it to be well mixed and the diced veggies broken down but not completely puréed.

3 Form mixture into 4-6 large patties (about ½ cup each) or 8-12 smaller sliders (about ¼ cup each).

4 Bake for 35-40 minutes, carefully flipping halfway through, until quinoa is crispy and golden brown on the outside.

5 Serve immediately or pan-cook for an additional 5-10 minutes for extra crispiness.

6 To pan-cook burgers, preheat pan over medium-high heat. Add baked quinoa burgers and heat for 5 minutes on each side, until crispy and brown. Serve immediately.

7 Store leftover quinoa burgers in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes or in a pan for 5-10 minutes.
