Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked quinoa
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese + 2 tablespoons of cheese
• 1 egg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
• 3 tablespoons of marinara sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3 teaspoons italian seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• Marinara Sauce, for dipping

Directions

• Mix 1/2 cup uncooked and washed quinoa with 1 1/4 cups water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil first and then lower heat. Cook the quinoa for about 15 minutes until fluffy. You should get about 1 1/2 cups of cooked quinoa (you only need 1 cup for the recipe, so you could always make extra pizza bites or use it another time).
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Grease a 12 mini muffin tin pan.
• Mix all of the ingredients together.
• Put a tablespoon into each muffin tin, packing them in.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes.
• Remove from oven and top with remaining 2 tablespoons of cheese. Broil for about 1 minute (please watch them, they burn easily).
• After broiling, allow to cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes and then remove from pan.
• Serve with Marinara Sauce.
