Cheesy Roasted Broccoli Patties Food

CHEESY ROASTED BROCCOLI PATTIES

Steps:

• 1. While oven is pre-heating to 400, prepare your baking sheet. You will want to line it with foil and then lightly grease it.
• 2. Add oil to a medium sauté pan and heat over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Watch for doneness... you want to cook the onions until just tender. Set aside.
• 3. Remove as much moisture as possible from your broccoli. This will help you get the best texture in the finished dish. Add the dry broccoli, panko, cheeses, egg and a bit of salt and pepper to a large bowl. Combine well.
• 4. Form broccoli mixture into small-ish patties and carefully place them on your baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping the patties half way through. They are done when they appear golden and crispy!

CHEESY QUINOA AND BROCCOLI PATTIES

Steps:

• First, cook your quinoa according to the directions on the package. I cooked mine by combining 1/2 cup of quinoa with 1 cup of boiling water, then letting it come to a boil, and simmering, covered for about 15 minutes. Once the quinoa has absorbed all the water (this shouldn't take longer than 15 minutes), put it on a plate and let it cool completely.
• Next, saute your diced onion until it's soft and translucent. Set aside and let cool completely. Cook your broccoli until it has softened a little bit, then let it cool as well. Once the broccoli has cooled completely, dice it into small pieces.
• Now that you have everything ready, in a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together, leaving the egg until the end. Mix well so you have a smooth, wet mixture that will allow you to make patties that will stick together.
• Heat some olive oil in a pan, and make your patties. I made each using 1/4 cup of the mixture. Just make a ball out of the mixture, and squash it down a little bit. Cook each patty for about 7 - 8 minutes on each side on medium heat. You want the patty to develop a crust, but not to burn, so watch them carefully. Let cool for a couple of minutes before eating.
• Enjoy!
