Cheesy Quinoa Bites

These are SO good. I didn’t really have terribly high hopes for them, for some reason, but they were DELICIOUS. This is the perfect recipe for using up extra quinoa, but even if you have to cook it especially for this recipe, it’s totally worth it.

2 cups cooked quinoa

2 large eggs

1 cup shredded zucchini (make sure you drain the liquid off by squeezing it through a towel or cheese cloth)

2 stalks green onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/2 cup (or 2 oz) grated Parmesan cheese*

2 Tbs all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp seasoning salt

1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
 

Mix together quinoa, zucchini, egg, green onion, garlic, cilantro, cheese, flour, salt and pepper.
 

Distribute mixture into a greased mini muffin tin, filling each cup to the top.
 

Bake for 15-20 minutes. Let them cool before you remove them, otherwise they’ll fall apart.

These are AMAZING dipped in honey mustard sauce, but use any kind that you like, or just eat them plain.
