Start by cooking the quinoa. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add the rinsed quinoa, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed.

While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the flax egg. In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with 6 tbsp of water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.

Add the minced garlic and grated carrot to the skillet, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, sautéed vegetables, flax egg, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Gradually add the breadcrumbs to the mixture, stirring until the mixture holds together. If it's too wet, add more breadcrumbs.

Form the mixture into patties, about 3-4 inches in diameter.

In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed and cook the patties over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
