Ingredients<\/b><\/h3>\n

Olive oil cooking spray
\n8 cups water
\n2 cups (12 ounces) quinoa, rinsed
\n1\/2 pound kale, large stems removed and leaves finely chopped
\n1 1\/2 teaspoon kosher salt
\n3\/4 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1\/4 inch cubes
\n1 small yellow onion, finely diced
\n1\/2 cup (2 ounces) finely grated Parmesan cheese
\n2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
\n1\/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
\n4 large eggs, beaten
\n1\/2 cup ketchup
\n3 tablespoons Sriracha chili sauce<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/b><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F and grease a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside.<\/li>\n
  2. In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add quinoa and reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until water is absorbed, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside, covered, for 10 minutes.<\/li>\n
  3. In a large pot, bring another 4 cups of water to a boil. Add kale and salt; cook for 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, scoop kale into a large bowl and leave the cooking water in the pot. When kale is cool enough to handle, squeeze out excess water and set aside.<\/li>\n
  4. Bring the water back<\/a> to a boil and add sweet potatoes. Simmer until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Strain the sweet potatoes and transfer to the bowl with kale. Add quinoa to the bowl and lightly mash to combine.<\/li>\n
  5. Gently mix in onion, Parmesan, chives and cayenne. Let cool for 10 minutes then mix in the eggs.<\/li>\n
  6. Place a 3-inch round cookie cutter on the baking sheet and scoop quinoa mixture into it; press firmly to level the top. The patty should be 1-inch thick. Slide the cookie cutter off and repeat to form 18 patties total.<\/li>\n
  7. Bake until lightly browned and crisp, flipping halfway through, about 20 minutes.<\/li>\n
  8. Combine ketchup and Sriracha in a small bowl and serve with quinoa cakes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
