These cakes are a great way to use up leftover roasted garlic. I always have extra roasted garlic in my fridge, so this recipe is perfect for me.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my cakes were really greasy. Maybe I didn't drain the quinoa properly?

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cakes fell apart when I tried to flip them. Maybe I didn't cook them long enough?

These cakes were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll add some more moisture next time, maybe some grated zucchini or applesauce.
