Start by cooking the quinoa. Use a 2:1 water to quinoa ratio.
1 cup quinoa, 2 cups water, 1 teaspoon salt
Preheat the oven to 375℉.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
Toss the quinoa with the olive oil and salt. Add spices if desired.
2 teaspoons olive oil
Spread the quinoa evenly on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Toast the quinoa in the oven until it is golden brown and crispy. About 20 minutes. You'll want to toss and redistribute the quinoa a few times during cooking to ensure it cooks evenly.
