DirectionsGet to the point

2Add rinsed quinoa, 1.875 cups water, 1 tbsp olive oil, and 1/2 tsp salt to the Instant Pot.

4Fluff with a fork and serve as a base for bowls, salads, or as a side dish.
Dad pro tip

The Instant Pot makes quinoa completely foolproof. One minute of pressure cooking and ten minutes of ignoring it. Use chicken broth instead of water if you want extra flavor. This makes a great meal-prep base for the whole week.

Kid adjustment

Mix cooked quinoa with butter and parmesan for a kid-friendly side that tastes like a healthier version of rice. Or stir in cinnamon and maple syrup for a breakfast bowl.

Reheat

Reheat with a splash of water in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring halfway. Quinoa also reheats well in a covered skillet with a bit of oil.
