Parmesan Quinoa Bites

A Healthy Appetizer

 

So I am always looking for a delicious yet healthy appetizer to serve when I am hosting a get-together. The other night I made these and everyone loved them!

Of course, all of my guests asked me, “what are in these?” With a smile and knowing a mountain of questions were about to blossom, I said “Quinoa.” The replies, “Quinoa? What is that??”

So I danced at the opportunity to educate my guest on this wonderful grain free (yes, quinoa is not a grain, but a seed) ingredient.

So Just How Do You Pronounce Quinoa?

 

I have noticed that people want to try new things, they just don’t know how to cook them, or in this case, even pronounce the ingredient. The correct pronunciation is “KEEN-wah”.

See video below to hear the correct pronunciation!

A Delicious Quinoa Recipe

    Love these!! Didnt have flour – gluten so I substituted puréed black beans. Yum!!

  2. Judy says

    I don’t have a mini muffin tin would making these on a sheet pan work? The recipe looks delicious. Do you have any suggestions for adjusting the time and temperature if I bake them this way. Thanks Judy

  3. Chess says

    Do you think this recipe would come together without the use of the cheese?
    Thank you

    Is the olive oil listed in the ingredients being used to grease the muffin pan or should it be mixed with the other ingredients?

  5. Melanie says

    I would love to try these although my family and I are trying to go vegan. Is there a way to make them without the egg and cheese or substitute something else in place? They sound amazing.

      Hi Melanie,

      I haven’t tried to make these vegan, and the egg and cheese are what holds these little gems together. You could try a flax egg and maybe a vegan cheese?
