Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • Water
  • Quinoa

Instructions

  • Spray your Instant Pot with cooking oil spray. Add in equal parts quinoa and water (I usually do 2 cups of each).
  • Place lid on your Instant Pot and set for 1 minute using the manual or pressure cook setting. After cook time, allow for a full natural release.
  • Remove quinoa from your Instant Pot and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool.
  • Once it's cool, measure and place into freezer friendly ziplock bags and store flat in your freezer.
  • To thaw, place quinoa and 1-2 T of water in a microwave and heat for 1-3 minutes.
