FoodFood

Ingredients

1 cup (180g) quinoa, rinsed & drained

1 lb broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tbsp olive oil

salt, to taste

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

black pepper, to taste

8 oz cheddar cheese, grated & divided

1 cup almond milk

1/2 tbsp butter

1 clove garlic, minced

1 slice whole wheat bread, torn into small pieces

Directions

Cook quinoa as directed on package.

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment or silicone.

Place the broccoli on the baking sheet and toss with the oil. Sprinkle with salt and arrange in a single layer. Bake 20 min, until tender and edges start to caramelize.

Put bread pieces into a food processor and process until they become small crumbs.

In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 1 min. Add bread crumbs and cook 2-3 min, until slightly browned and crisp. Set aside to cool.

After broccoli is done, reduce oven to 350°F (177°C).

Add the red pepper flakes, black pepper & all but ¾ cup cheese to the skillet. Add the milk and stir everything well to combine.

Add the mix to a casserole dish and stir in the broccoli. Top with remaining cheese, then breadcrumbs.

Bake uncovered 25 min, until top is golden. Let cool 10 min.
