Gluten Free Quinoa Pizza Crust

My Aunt told me about this idea.  She said ‘Nina, you’ve GOT to try this, I like it better than real pizza crust! Its DELICIOUS!’.  I thought, No way would this even stick together and not crumble apart.  It’s make out of like 90% quinoa after all!  Even if it would hold together, it probably was not going to taste all that great, right?

I’m glad to say that I was wrong.  I can’t say its better than restaurant pizza crust, but it is VERY good! I don’t think I’ll be desiring to make another pizza crust when I’ve got this in my arsenal.  It’s crunchy, strong, and flavorful too.  You can choose to make this without any spices or cheese too, but I like the taste!  Feel free to use this crust for a pesto pizza, a white spinach pizza, or the traditional sauce and cheese with your favorite toppings.

Quinoa is a very healthy grain, one of the healthiest grains arguably you can eat.  It is one of the highest grown (if not the highest) source of food humans eat, coming from the Rocky Mountains.  Unlike most vegetarian foods, quinoa is a complete protein.  It also supplies copper, iron, fiber, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, etc.  So this is a nice grain to add into your diet.
