Originally posted this back a while, long enough that the tool for the recipes went under…
We still enjoy quinoa, always a treat, generally pick riced cauliflower these days, but still a great options. I like to cook the quinoa with some coconut oil to help with digestion.
The original recipe called to cook in a pan or on a griddle. Seems that either the pan doesn’t hold enough or the middle burner doesn’t keep the “built in griddle” evenly heated… I have also read about silpat vs parchment paper.
I changed up this recipe to cook it in the oven, and using parchment paper.
I started with 350,then 375 and the final flip at 400. I’m crazy and wild!
