Delicious Quinoa Pizza Bites Recipe for a Healthy Snack

Ingredients

Servings:
2
  • 1 cup quinoa (rinsed and cooked)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
  • 1 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Make sure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Prepare Quinoa Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, beaten egg, mozzarella, parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.

    Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Form Bites

    Scoop the mixture and form small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

    Wet your hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking.
  4. Bake the Bites

    Place the formed bites on a greased baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

  5. Serve

    Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving with marinara sauce.

    Enjoy warm for the best flavor and texture.
