These humble quinoa patties are a real treat. The addition of toasted pecans makes them taste a little bit decadent. Also, the mix of pecans and butternut squash is one of my all-time favorite combos! I love quinoa, I really do, but I’m not a big fan of quinoa burgers, I find them a little bit dull and fragile. Well, these burgers are something else, they are still wholesome but pack tons of flavor and hold their shape quite well. CRISPY on the outside, TENDER and DELICIOUS on the inside. I like to shape them into small patties and add them to salads or veggie bowls. Though if you want to shape them into nice looking burgers, they taste great on a whole wheat bun with some hummus, caramelized onions, tomatoes and spinach. I’m starting to get a bit hungry just writing that! These are also freezer friendly and super easy to make, great if you like meal prepping.
