Super Easy Quinoa Balls
Super Easy Quinoa Balls
Where are my pasta and “meatball” lovers? Okay, so you don’t have to currently love meatballs, but you did once, and you want them vegan and healthy, and full of protein (maybe?) Well, this recipe for our Super Easy Quinoa Balls is going to win you over.
Some nights call for a full Italian night! We had some leftover quinoa and a big batch of my mother in law’s pasta sauce, so naturally, we had to figure out how to use all these leftovers. Voilà…Super Easy Quinoa Balls! They are AMAZING! They held their shape, AND the flavor was fantastic. This recipe made about 12 quinoa balls. Oh, and the leftover quinoa balls were perfect for lunch the next day… so there is that good news as well. Enjoy!
The texture was spot on and the balls retained their shape, which is always a winning combination! We rolled them up and baked them to perfection using a parchment lined baking sheet.
