Quinoa Sweet Potato Cakes

Ingredients :

1 1/2 cups cooked red or brown quinoa

1 cup cooked sweet potato ( I roasted mine in the oven) 

1/2 red onion chopped fine

6-7 fresh basil leaves chopped 

1/2 cup chopped spinach

4 heaping Tbs grated Parmesan cheese

(You could also use mozzarella)

1/2 tsp salt and pepper

2 Tbs Italian herb blend

2 Tbs olive oil

Form into patties and place on grill pan or skillit. These can stick easily, so use plenty of  olive oil in the pan if your not using a version of a non-stick pan. 

I topped mine with feta, avacado, and a drizzle of aged balsamic.  Since they are Italian, it would be great with some fresh marinara sauce. ENJOY!
