Mix ½ cup uncooked and washed quinoa with 1 cup water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil first and then lower heat. Cook the quinoa for about 15 minutes until fluffy. You should get about 1 ½ cups of cooked quinoa (you only need 1 cup for the recipe, so you could always make extra pizza bites or use it another time).
Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C.
Grease a 12 mini muffin tin pan OR line it with parchment paper with strips over the sides. I found the parchment paper worked best for me!
Mix all of the ingredients together, except the extra 2 tablespoons of cheese.
Put a tablespoon into each muffin tin, packing them in.
Bake for 12-15 minutes.
Remove from oven and top with remaining 2 tablespoons of cheese. Broil for about 30 seconds to 1 minute (please watch them, they burn easily).
After broiling, allow to cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes and then remove from pan.
Serve with marinara sauce. Enjoy!!
