👝 How to Store Leftovers
If you’re making a bunch of patties, store them uncooked and cook them when you’re ready-to-eat. They also freeze great. Otherwise, you can totally reheat a cooked patty on a BBQ or pan.
🤔 Common Questions
Quinoa burger patties can be crumbly. To prevent this, ensure you cook the quinoa properly and let it cool before you use it in the patty. You want the mixture to not be too wet, and if required, you can always add in more flax egg or olive oil if needed but start slow.
You can truly add anything – lettuce, tomatoes, onions, etc. I love to make spicy mayo by mixing mayo and your favorite hot sauce like sriracha.
