Ingredients

2 cups cooked quinoa *approximately ⅔ cups dry
⅔ cup shredded parmesan
3 tbsp almond flour
¼ cup chopped chives
1 egg *lightly beaten
¼ tsp fine sea salt
¼ tsp fresh pepper
2 ½ tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Start by cooking the quinoa according to the package instructions if you don't have any already prepped, and let it cool.
Place all ingredients, except for the oil, into a large bowl and mix until well combined.
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Form six ¼ cup fritters, wetting hands if necessary to prevent sticking, and cook three at a time, leaving room in between each fritter.
Flip after about five minutes. Be careful when flipping, as they are a tad fragile. Cook for another five minutes until browned, set aside, then repeat with the last three.
Serve warm with toppings of choice. We love a dollop of sour cream and more chopped chives.

Notes

Storage tips

Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days in an airtight container.

To freeze, let them cool, and then place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually to prevent sticking. Then place the frozen fritters into a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months.
