Crispy/Toasted Quinoa

I love adding some toasted/crispy quinoa to my salads. You can also use them to replace breadcrumbs. Make sure you store your toasted quinoa in an airtight container in the fridge.
Ingredients and Directions:
2 cups water, chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup rinsed quinoa
Bring your water or broth to a boil and add your rinsed quinoa. Cover and simmer for around 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
Line a large baking pan with some parchment paper and spread your quinoa as evenly as you can. Let it set for around 10-15 minutes to let it cool.
Bake until toasted stirring every 5 minutes so it browns evenly. This could take anywhere from 20-45 minutes. Keep a close eye on it because once it starts to toast, it will go quickly.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge. I hope you enjoy!
If you use this to replace breadcrumbs and to be gluten free, add it to your finished foods because it doesn't need to be toasted more.

Thank you for introducing quinoa on your channel. It's sometimes a project getting my boyfriend to eat healthier. I recently convinced him to sprinkle a tablespoon of quinoa over most of his meals (over his beans, over his veggies, over his salads, into his soup) and he is up for that, so I keep a container of prepared quinoa in the frige. Every bit helps! :)

I eat quinoa. I have a bag of it at home. I only learned about toasted quinoa a couple of days ago. My mom bought a salad with a packet of it to add and she's not adventurous so she gave it to me. It's delicious toasted. So I came onto KZfaq to see if I could find a recipe. Thank you for your recipe. I usually eat mine cooked with veggies as I would a couscous or I eat it with oatmeal as a sweet breakfast option.

What a great idea Cricket! I'm not a big fan of Quinoa ( and you pronounced it just fine!). Not because of the taste. I like that. But the texture feels like a mouthfull of sand to me. Now this "crispy Quinoa" is a game changer. I can see that as toppings like you said. Also as a sub for breadcrumb coating for baking or frying. I'm always happy for a gluten free substitute! Now I can't wait to see Quinoa candy. Maybe there's Quinoa in my future. Thanks!

Hey Cricket! I am a quinoa eating. Have some in my fridge right now. Great little seed. Yes, on washing the saponin off. So bitter and soapy. I love using this seed in homemade chocolates for a crunch and oat bars. But I've never toasted a whole tray before and used it on mac and cheese. Very cool idea and I will give that a go. Thanks for the idea! Have you ever ground quinoa into flour for bakes? PS: I was commenting as the video went. I see you do the chocolate too. So yummy!

@cricket516 6 жыл бұрын

I do that a lot too about commenting as the video plays. No, I've never tried to ground it to use as flour. You should make a video on that. Hint hint

@angelforanimals7809 6 жыл бұрын

I have never had Quinoa. I’ll have to check it out. Making it crispy made me think about a restaurant we go to called Carino’s. They roast finely chopped garlic until it’s crispy, they pour some olive oil onto a deep plate and then pour that garlic into the oil. They bring a warm, small loaf of bread and you just tear pieces of bread off, press it into the oil and garlic pieces and eat it. It’s sooooooooo yummy. Dang, now I want some of that bread. Wait, what was the video about again lol seriously, I’ll have to try this Quinoa.

Looks like a great idea. I quinoa once in a salad, it wasn’t crispy and I didn’t much care for it. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good. Just bland really and mushy. I think it would be much better toasted the way you have done it.
