Quinoa and black rice are a classic pairing in this Crispy Quinoa Bites recipe. The trick is to get the right mix of sweet and savory flavors from fresh basil and cherry tomatoes. These bites are just as delicious when made ahead and reheated, so they are perfect to serve for a quick afternoon snack or a road trip. I enjoy baking a batch of these on Sunday mornings for a cozy and nutritious breakfast throughout the week. I often serve these with a side of salsa but my family enjoys a dollop of guacamole on top for a creamy topping; they slice each quinoa bite in half and spread a bit of avocado onto each bite. This recipe is incredibly simple and takes almost no time to prepare- just a few whole ingredients tossed together and baked in a muffin tin.
