Vegetarian Garlic And Parmesan Cheese Quinoa Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

This is an easy vegetarian recipe for whole-grain quinoa flavored with garlic and parmesan cheese. Parmesan garlic quinoa isn't quite enough to make a full meal on its own, but it's a good start. It would be great alongside some tofu, a side dish of vegetables, or maybe even alongside a simple vegetarian stir-fry. For a vegan version of this quinoa recipe, smother the quinoa in nutritional yeast instead of parmesan cheese and use olive oil in place of the butter. Need it to be gluten-free? Just be sure to use a gluten-free vegetable broth, as all the other ingredients (including the butter, onion, garlic, quinoa, and parmesan cheese) are all gluten-free and safe for anyone avoiding wheat. Read the label and look for a vegetable broth clearly labeled to be gluten-free, or make your own vegetable broth at home to be on the safe side.
