Method

1
Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2
Squeeze the grated zucchini firmly in a clean tea towel or cheesecloth to remove as much liquid as possible — this step matters, or the patties won't hold together.
3
Put the cooked quinoa in a large bowl. Add the squeezed zucchini, eggs, flaxseed, grated garlic, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper.
4
If using, stir in the crumbled feta now. Mix everything together with a spoon until well combined.
5
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions, press gently into flat patties with your hands, and arrange them on the tray.
6
Brush the tops lightly with olive oil. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until lightly golden on top, flipping once halfway through.
