Notes

  • If you want to make this recipe vegan, you can replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water).
  • If you don't have cooked quinoa on hand, you can cook some up while the sweet potatoes are roasting.
  • If the mixture is too wet to form into patties, add a bit more breadcrumbs to the mixture.
