Quinoa isn't just for dinner anymore: In this week's Healthy Start we bake the super seed with a few other wholesome ingredients to make a granola-like crunchy topping for yogurt.
Quinoa-Almond Crunch
Serves: 4
Active Time: 15 min
Total Time: 45 min
Ingredients
1 large egg white, beaten
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 teaspoons honey
coarse salt
1/2 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons sliced almonds
nonstick cooking spray
Preheat oven to 325°. In medium bowl, whisk 1 tablespoon egg white, cinnamon, honey, and pinch of salt until smooth. Add quinoa and almonds and toss until coated. Spread mixture on a rimmed baking sheet coated with cooking spray and bake, until golden brown, about 20 minutes, stirring quinoa mixture and rotating sheets halfway through. Let cool completely. Store in an airtight container, up to three days.

Can't wait to try this version! I make something similar http://makeitnaked.com/2012/03/27/quinoa-crunch/ and love the idea of adding almonds.
