Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
- Finely chop the 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!
