I was given this tip from a very good friend of mine, Tracy. We were having a lovely dinner at Otto (Gluten free pizza in London) in November and she mentioned this is a great alternative to croutons and if you like something crunchy in your salad or soup. So I let the idea settle in, and just before Christmas I tried it and it was amazing! This little batch has lasted me a month and it still is good to go. Fantastic way to jazz up your salad and increase the nutritional value! I tossed together whatever I had lying around, so feel free to use your imagination.
Enjoy!
Crunchy Quinoa Topping
Ingredients
1 Cup Cooked Quinoa
Handful of Kale Leaves
Handful Pine nuts
1 Crushed Garlic Clove
Salt
Chili powder
Pepper
Method
Deadly simple as all you do is mix the ingredients together in a bowl and then line a roasting tray with baking parchment and roast in the oven till it becomes crispy. I had my oven on 250 C and roasted it for roughly 15 mins. But my oven is old and the temperature is sometimes not completely accurate. So stick to your own guidelines! Let cool and then place in an airtight container.
Simply sprinkle on salads or in soups when you want to add a little crunch to your food.
