Quinoa Bites(Vegan + Gluten-free)
These dip-worthy bites are pan-fried instead of deep-fried, hand rolled and cooked in Aebleskiver pan aka Appe pan . These No-Fry Crispy Quinoa bites are delicious on top of a salad, or just as finger food for your next get together. The quinoa is blended perfectly with a white bean (in this case, cannellini beans) to make these bites a perfectly filling and feel good food!
