Author: Cradle Rocking Mama (Carrie Summers)
Recipe type: snack, cereal
Serves: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 2 c. quinoa seeds
- sea salt, herbs or spices (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- If you don't care to rinse your seeds first, skip to step 5.
- To rinse your seeds, pour water over them well or cover with water in a pot and strain.
- Dump the seeds on a parchment lined cookie sheet and put in the oven at the lowest temperature. Mine only goes down to 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Stir every hour or so until dry; about 3 hours.
- Put a large soup pot on the stove and heat it over medium heat.
- After the pan is nicely heated, dump ¼ c. of quinoa at a time into the pan, shaking the pan constantly as the quinoa seeds pop.
- After about 1 minute, dump the popped quinoa seeds into a container.
- If you want to season your popped quinoa, do so while still warm.
- Enjoy as a snack or as a breakfast cereal!
