OVEN BAKED QUINOA RECIPE
Ingredients:
1 cup dried quinoa (180g)
2 cups grated sweet potato (300g)
4 large eggs, whisked
1/4 cup oat flour (25g)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (50g)
NUTRITIONAL INFO (per serving):
182 calories, fat 5.7g, carb 23g, protein 9g
Instructions:
Cook the quinoa:
Rinse the quinoa under cold water, then add it to a small pot with 320ml of water. Season with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low. Cover with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 15 minutes to absorb any remaining moisture. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and set aside.
Assemble and Bake:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, whisked eggs, grated sweet potato, oat flour, and Parmesan cheese. Gently mix with a wooden spoon until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a baking dish, then spread the quinoa mixture evenly in the dish, smoothing the top with a spoon. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let the dish cool for a few minutes. This will make it easier to slice into 8 equal portions.
I make quinoa lasagna. Quinoa, fried ground turkey with tomatoes sauce, sliced zero spinage, cottage cheese with Parmesan and egg and layer again.
sounds amazing
Wow, love the idea, will give this a try!
Am I first? I love quinoa and I usually make it with chicken broth, and I am always looking for different ways to add it to recipes. Thanks once again Sasha for another great recipe.
Hi! I love quinoa too, but never really experimented with it, recently I had I chance to give this type of quinoa casserole-cake a try and I just had to give it a shot and do it my way. Loved the results, and I feel inspired to explore quinoa recipes even more. Thanks for your feedback!
Wow! You are just what I was looking for! I've been meal prepping for my family lately and I found you here, I've made granola so far and am baking oats right now! When thas finished I have everything I need to make this quinoa bake!!! 🎉 thaks so muc for sharing! ❤
Hi, welcome on board! You're right, this quinoa bake is great for meal prepping. Glad you enjoy the recipes guys! Take care!
Hi dear Sasha, I love quinoa and I always made quinoa salad, but it's now boring and I haven't made it for a while. However, this recipe gave me motivation 😊 to try quinoa again.
As always, thank you so much for your great recipes and I can't wait to try this new one.
Please take care and have a wonderful day ❤️🌹
Hi dear Zahra, it's great to hear from you! Same thing here, love the quinoa but got pretty bored with making different salads out of it, loved this one, so I will definitely give more quinoa recipes a try. Hope you're guys doing great, have a great week too, sending back love!
You just popped up on the side here. I’m finding some very interesting and good food here! Thanks!
Hi! Thanks for stopping by, I'm glad you enjoy the recipes!
Hey Sasha! 👋🏻 California here.., I am fairly new to Healthy cooking & only very recently, (2024) started experimenting using quinoa and was fascinated by this recipe! 😊 I'll definitely be trying it! Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏻
Hey there, great to hear that, glad to be a part of your healthy eating journey! Thanks for stopping by, and keep it up with your health goals!
Great recipe.. a must try.. thanks
Thank you from Texas! 🙏🏻
Sending back hugs to Texas!
It looks so delicious 😋 Going to try this recipe! Usually I find many recipes with quinoa patties that are fried in a pan and I find patties soaked in oil and heavy, so this is perfect 👌 👍 thanks Sasa
Hi Ivana! Thanks for your kind feedback, you're right baking quinoa is so much better, and saves you some time too... You know, baked patties would be also good, with more crust to enjoy, will give that a try and let you know. Take care!
Looks great. Thanks!
Glad you like it, thanks for watching!
Will surely try ❤
Hi Anita, hope you'll enjoy this simple recipe!
Will love to watch more plant based recipes
Will be more of these on the channel too.
Interesting. I'm going to have to try it.
Glad you like the idea!
👍 This is a good one.
I love quinoa...have it as cereal every day. I also make a quinoa crust quiche, but I'm going to try your method of adding some flour for substance, Maybe even spinach 🤔
Any suggestion for spicing up a crust or could you use your recipe to make a crust?
Thanks, Sasha.
Thanks! Quinoa crust quiche sounds great... but this recipe, I'm not sure it would be good to make a crust out of it, it might fall apart when you spread it thin, maybe if you add a bit more flour. For spices, I would give it a try with thyme, oregano or smoked paprika.
@@HowToCookSmarter Super. Thanks for the advice and suggestion, Sasha.
@@sleepinglioness5754 You're very welcome! Would you like to share your quinoa crust recipe with me?
Wow its looks very tasty
Thanks for watching!
@@HowToCookSmarter you're always Wellcome
Great recipe...I am already planning how I am going to make it my own with a few tweeks
Thanks! That's exactly what I did when a friend introduced me to a recipe...
I like to cook quinoa with rice in my rice cooker. And then use any leftovers in making fried rice.
Love quinoa fried rice, the classic way, it's just as good as one made with rice. How long do you cook quinoa in your rice cooker?
@@HowToCookSmarter I'm not sure how long it cooks, maybe around 15 minutes. It's one of those simple ones that you put the rice pan in and push the lever down to "cook". I had a more complicated one but I could never get it to work. So I gave it away and bought another one like the one I used to own for over 10 years before it developed a short in its cord and I had to replace it.
@@laurabaumgartner3085 Yeah, a nice little tool, it's great it actually does more than just one thing - cooking rice, not really a thing here, but would love to give it a try.
Great recipe ✔️
Thanks!
I want more egg free healthy recipes, or egg alternatives for each. Out of 4-5 ingredients, one is always egg so can never make
Can you use an egg substitute like Just Egg or flax egg?
Hi! Lately I've been making a lot of high protein recipes, so adding eggs is the easy way to have that boost... but I'll have that on my mind.
Looks great. Do you have any suggestions for vegans please as I would like to do something for my son and wife?
Thanks Kevin! You know, the cooked quinoa is pretty sticky on its own, so I think it would hold together without adding egss into the mixture, so instead of eggs you can add some applesauce, silken tofu or flaxegg, it will work just fine.
I working on getting those cornmeal pudding recipes to you as promised.
Quinoa is a weird word.....it is pronounced: KEEN-wah.
Recipe looks tasty. I have some of this little known seed in my fridge, using it on occasion to boost the nutrition of white rice. Rinsing it in a very fine mesh sieve is standard since the seed has a bitter protective layer to ward off "predators". It's quinoa's own natural defense mechanism.
That's great, looking forward to it! Exactly, I find this little seed to be quite amazing, but since I've been all about the oats I haven't given enough attention to this wonderful ingredient, will try to combine these two in my future recipes even more.
❤❤ can it freeze?
Sure, it would be fine to freeze it.
Wow this looks delicious! Can't wait to recreate it but I'm just wondering, if I don't have cheese is there anything else I can use?
Hi! I prefer to add cheese to bring in more flavor, but you can substitute it for other goodies like sun-dried tomatoes, nutritional yeast, roasted red peppers, crumbled bacon...
Sasha.. amazing 😋😍 Was that you? Did I see you in this video? This video has me thinking. Mushrooms, diced celery, onions.. a savory side?
Thanks Michele! That's the way to think about this recipe, you can pair it with any flavors you enjoy. Yep, that was me enjoying the quinoa... maybe I decide to step in front of the cam one day, who knows:)
Could you make a sweeter version of this, and say, use zero fat yoighurt with protein powder as a topping?
Actually, I was just thinking about it, just like I did it with polenta in my previous videos, add some maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, it has to taste good.
I love this idea!!! Please make a sweet version 😊
We finally get to see your face!!! Woohoo 🎉... Great recipe by the way
Hi Cynthia, nice to meet you :) I guess it's time to get more exposed in front of the cam... Glad you like the recipe!
@@HowToCookSmarter yes please! More face time. Keep up the great work!
@@cynthiaareh3715 Thanks for supporting!
👍👍👍
Please can you make egg nut gluten free recipes...
Thank you
How do you make Birthday Cake?
I love this carrot cake for my birthday: ruclips.net/video/vCvh4tf29d4/видео.html
more breakfast meal prep
There will be more of these recipes.
This looks very interesting. I can't quite make out what the size of your baking dish is. 8x11 inches perhaps?
Glad you like the idea! Yes, baking dishes here in Croatia are not really same in size, this one it's more like 12x7 inches.
Could I sub flax eggs for eggs?
I guess that would work too, but I would reduce the amount of flax eggs and add some other good binding ingredient, let's say Greek yogurt or coconut cream.
Any substitute for sweet potato
Hi Anita! Adding grated carrots or zucchini would be great too.
If you have access-get an Instant Pot. Using an Instant Pot Quinoa takes 1 minute to cook.
Hi! Thanks for the tip!
4 eggs? In this economy? 😜 Any suggestions for an alternative to the Parmesan?
Is that you at 0:33? Finally a face reveal, you are a handsome man 😊
Hi Jane, thanks, it's not the first time I'm enjoying my food this way.
😊👍‼️
👌👏👏👏🤎🤗
I think they are expecting low importation of food and having to relly on what is farmed in the country.
They have a long term view or got lucky to invest in it in 2020.
Things are getting comolicated in the east and its going to affect every country
Hey..that's not oats! :)
Hi... but there are some inside :)
