Rinse quinoa under cold water and combine with water in a saucepan. Bring to boil, then simmer for 12-15 minutes.
Let quinoa steam for 5 minutes and cool on a tray to release steam.
Remove excess moisture by refrigerating uncovered for 10-15 minutes or pressing in a towel.
In a bowl, mix cooled quinoa with grated vegetables, cooked aromatics, eggs or vegan binder, starch, cheese, salt, and spices.
Shape patties using a 1/3 to 1/2 cup measure and chill for 10 minutes.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and pan-fry patties for 4-6 minutes per side, or bake at 425°F for 15-20 minutes.

For a gluten-free option, use certified gluten-free starches and breadcrumbs. Chill patties for better handling before frying.
