Cheesy Quinoa Bites: Perfect Finger Food for Kids

11/11/2012

I have been looking for some new healthy lunch ideas for the girls (and me) and some healthier snacks to have on hand. I found the recipe for these on the blog, So Very Blessed.  These were very easy to make and really yummy.  The only thing I would do differently next time would be to make them in a regular sized muffin tin.  (It was a pain to clean out the mini muffin tin numerous times!)  This was a great find!  Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS:
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded carrot
  • 2 stalks green onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 
  • 2 Tbs all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp seasoning salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
PREP: 15 minutes
BAKE: 15- 20 minutes
SERVES: approx. 28 bites

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2.  Mix together quinoa, carrot, egg, green onion, garlic, cilantro, cheese, flour, salt and pepper.
3.  Distribute mixture into a greased mini muffin tin, filling each cup to the top (1 heaping Tbs each). 
4.  Bake for 15-20 minutes.
