Cooking Tips

• Make sure the cooked quinoa is cooled before adding it to the meatball mixture to prevent the mixture from becoming too wet.
• For extra flavor, you can add grated Parmesan cheese or chopped fresh herbs to the meatball mixture.
• If you prefer a crispy exterior, you can bake the meatballs in the oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes instead of pan-frying them.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover meatballs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, you can microwave them for a few seconds or warm them in a skillet with a little bit of olive oil.
• Serve the meatballs as an appetizer, main course, or as a topping for salads or sandwiches.
