Quinoa croquettes

March 29, 2016 por Carolina Rojas Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe

At this point I consider myself a big fan of quinoa, because of how versatile it is when cooking and the great nutritional value it provides, and it is also ideal for celiacs because it contains no gluten. It helps controlling the cholesterol levels, it is high in fiber content and protein, since it has a low glycemic index, which is ideal for people with diabetes and for those who want to lose weight.
Quinoa is for sure a super food, and there are many ways to prepare it. Today I present here these tasty Quinoa croquettes, and you can vary the type of seasoning you want, or you can even add more ingredients if you want, to give your personal touch to the recipe.
The croquettes are ideal as a side for lunch or dinner.
