What’s the best way to cook quinoa

Sure! Here are four different ways to cook quinoa:

**Classic Boil Method**: Rinse your quinoa under cold water to get rid of any bitterness. Then, combine it with water in a pot—usually a 2:1 ratio of water to quinoa. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until all the water is absorbed. Fluff it up with a fork, and you’re good to go!

**Flavor Infusion**: Instead of cooking quinoa in plain water, try using vegetable or chicken broth for extra flavor. Just follow the same boiling method, but swap the water for broth. It adds a nice depth to your quinoa!

**Toaster Oven Roasting**: For a nutty flavor, you can toast the quinoa before cooking. Just spread it on a baking sheet and roast it in the toaster oven for about 10 minutes at 350°F. Then, cook it like usual with water or broth.
