Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
2 cups kale, tuscan
4 cloves garlic
olive oil, to taste
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
⅓ cup sun-dried tomato, in oil
4 large eggs
4 cups quinoa, cooked and cooled
1 cup oat flour
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon kosher salt
¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  • Finely chop the Tuscan kale. Mince the garlic.
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic and red pepper flakes for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the kale and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Chop the sun-dried tomatoes and add to the kale mixture.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then add the quinoa, oat flour, kale mixture, oregano, basil, parsley, salt, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
  • Shape the quinoa mixture into 20 small patties. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, until the patties are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve as desired. The bites will keep in the fridge for up to 6 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
  • Enjoy!
