Cheesy Quinoa Bites

This is a perfect recipe for a summer day.  You have to start the oven, but they go well with a salad and you have a meal.

What you will need: 2 cups cooked quinoa, 2 large eggs, 1 cup shredded carrot, 1 cup shredded zucchini, 2 stalks green onion, 2 cloves garlic, minced , 1/2 cup grated cheddar, 2 Tbs all-purpose flour , 1/2 tsp seasoning salt , 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix together quinoa, carrot, egg, green onion, garlic, zucchini, cheese, flour, salt and pepper.
3. Distribute mixture into a greased mini muffin tin, filling each cup to the top (1 heaping Tbs each).
4. Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Before baking.

Notice the carrot and zucchini were in big shreds. I used my food processor. Next time I will use a grater so they are smaller.



We dipped these in ranch dressing, but I'm sure they'd be good with almost any summer time dip. This is a perfect compliment to a salad as you get your protein from the quinoa.
