Cheesy Veggie-Quinoa Bites

"This is by far my favorite vegetarian quinoa recipe. My 2-year-old went crazy eating them. He couldn't even tell there were veggies in it! He asked for seconds... and thirds."

Ingredients :

• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed
• 1 1/3 cups water
• 2/3 cup quinoa
• 1/2 cup cauliflower florets, or more to taste
• 3 carrots, shredded
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or more to taste
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh kale
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon flax seeds (optional)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions :

Prep : 10M	Cook : 32M	Ready in : 50M

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a mini muffin tin with oil.
• Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain any excess liquid and let cool briefly.
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes.
• Mix cooked quinoa, steamed cauliflower, carrots, Cheddar cheese, eggs, kale, flour, flax seeds, chia seeds, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Spoon mixture into the muffin cups and press down lightly.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are light brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool in pan, about 5 minutes. Remove bites from pan and let cool, about 5 minutes more.

Notes :

• If you use a regular muffin pan, the recipe only makes about 12 or14 bites.
• In place of kale, you can use spinach; for cauliflower you can substitute shredded zucchini; and for the shredded Cheddar, try shredded mozzarella.
