Cheesy Quinoa Bites

Cheesy Quinoa Bites

I loved these little quinoa bites. They were very delicious and easy to put together.  I liked that they held together so they could be a finger food and you could very easily dip them in some sort of sauce. My family and I ate them plain, mainly because we were trying to be healthy. Either way you choose, plain or dipped, this is a delicious side dish to any meal.

Cheesy Quinoa Bites

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked quinoa, cooled
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup shredded carrot
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a mini muffin tin.
  2. Mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl.
  3. Fill each muffin cup evenly with about 1 heaping tablespoon of the quinoa mixture, filling the muffins cups to the top.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Enjoy!!!
