Steps

3. Add the cooked quinoa, grated carrot, chopped parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, nutritional yeast, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to the mashed beans. Mix until well combined.

5. Form the mixture into two patties, about 1.5 cm thick.
6. Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown.
