Preparation

Crispy Quinoa
Once the quinoa is cool, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked quinoa and spread it evenly in the pan. Cook until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a paper towel to drain excess oil and season with black pepper.
