INGREDIENTS:
1 container AeroFarms Baby Kale 1 container AeroFarms Micro Spicy Mix 2 cup cooked white or rainbow quinoa 1 cup chickpeas (cooked, drained, rinsed, and dried) 1 clove garlic (minced) ½ tsp paprika ½ tsp cumin 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil ½ cup gluten-free panko (optional) ½ cup AeroFarms' Zesty Greens Guacamole
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Heat ½ tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet, add container of AeroFarms Baby Kale and lightly sauté for 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat and let cool. Once cooled, squeeze all liquid out of the greens and pat down with a clean paper towel.

2. Mash dry chickpeas in a large bowl with ½ tablespoon olive oil and garlic until you get a thick paste consistency. You may use a sturdy metal fork, mortal and pestle, or food processor.

3. Add quinoa, greens, spices, salt and pepper to the chickpea mash and mix until even.

4. Use an ice cream scoop to shape 4-6 patties. Form each patty tightly to keep the mixture together. Gently coat each patty with a light layer of panko.

5. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Heat patties on each side for 1-2 minutes until the panko is golden brown.

6. Transfer skillet with patties to oven set to 350°F and bake for 15-20 minutes.

7. Serve with bun of choice, AeroFarms Zesty Greens Guacamole, and top with AeroFarms Micro Spicy Mix! Serve and Enjoy!
