Quinoa Pizza Bites

Gluten Free

Serves :

4

I found this recipe recently when I was looking for something to make with Quinoa (pronounced keen wah.) It is a protein rich, gluten free food but can be quite bland. These are perfect to give it some flavour, they only take a few minutes to mix up and last for quite a few days in the fridge. A perfect lunch or midday snack.

Instructions :

  1. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
