quinoa

💰Cheaper: brown rice

Brown rice is less expensive and has a similar texture.

Rinse the quinoa well to remove saponins that can taste bitter.

Use a ratio of 1 cup quinoa to 1.33 cups water, adding a pinch of salt.

Bring the water to a boil, cover with a lid, reduce heat to low, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, turn off the heat but keep the lid on for a few more minutes to allow quinoa to absorb excess moisture.

In a separate bowl, whisk four large eggs.

Fold the whisked eggs into the cooked quinoa mixture gently to avoid overmixing.

Add 2 cups of grated sweet potato to the quinoa mixture.

Mix in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup of finely grated Parmesan cheese.

Season the mixture with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

Spread the mixture evenly in a greased baking dish, pressing down gently with a spoon.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake for about 35 minutes.

Check for doneness when the top turns golden brown and the edges are crispy.

Let it sit for a few minutes after removing from the oven to make slicing easier.
