I follow recipe developers the way some people follow baseball players.

One of my favorites is Justine Doiron, who is known as@justine_snackson Instagram.

Justine’s calm videos are super comforting.

Texture is super important to me, so I love adding crunchy things to my meals.

Bonus points for added nutritional value, such as chopped nuts and seeds.

Justine’s crunchy quinoa excels on both fronts: a satisfying crunch, plus protein and fiber.

Combine cooked quinoa (any color) and olive oil, plus a pinch of salt.

A good ratio is one cup of cooked quinoa to two tablespoons of oil.

Spread the quinoa over a parchment-lined baking sheet, and pop it in an oven heated to 375F.

Bake for about 25 minutes, stirring well every eight to 10 minutes.

On the last stir, add your seasonings, and combine thoroughly to double-check the flavor is evenly distributed.

Allow the quinoa to cool before packing it up in an airtight container.

I go through it so quickly!

I could eat it every day, and if you ask my family, I do exactly that.

I also love topping salads with crispy quinoa.

Lets not forget the sweets.
