Instructions
Hot & Spicy Buffalo Sriracha Sauce:
Heat a saucepan over medium heat.
Melt butter in saucepan, then whisk in all remaining ingredients.
Bring to a low simmer while whisking continuously. Turn off heat right before boiling.
Use immediately, or let cool completely before storing in a closed glass container in the fridge.
White Cheddar Quinoa Bites:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper & set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked quinoa, eggs, breadcrumbs, cheese, salt, garlic powder & paprika.
Stir until evenly combined. Let mixture sit a few minutes.
Using damp hands, take 1 rounded tablespoon of mixture at a time and shape into a ball.
Repeat with remaining mixture.
Place quinoa bites on your parchment lined cookie sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes, using tongs to flip bites halfway through.
Remove from oven & using a small spoon, top each bite with a generous portion of Buffalo Sriracha Sauce.
Bake for 10 minutes more, flipping halfway through & topping off with any remaining sauce.
Remove from oven when bites & sauce are just beginning to brown.
Serve on their own, on a bed of greens, or with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing!
Enjoy!
