Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb extra lean ground beef
3/4 cup cooked quinoa (see note )
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup grated carrot
1/4 cup grated zucchini
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp chopped garlic
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 egg

Directions:

Preheat oven to 500°F Line a large baking sheet with foil then spray with cooking spray; set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients until well combined. Shape into 16 balls and transfer to prepared baking sheet. Bake until cooked through and golden brown, 12-15 minutes.
Note: To cook quinoa, bring 1 cup water to a boil in a small pot. Pour in 1/2 cup quinoa, cover and simmer until water is absorbed, 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat, let stand covered for 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
