In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed.

Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked quinoa, grated carrot, zucchini, green onion, eggs, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, cumin, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Using your hands, form the mixture into patties about 3 inches in diameter.

Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
