Notes

  • Having quinoa cooked ahead of time makes this beet stir fry whip up quickly. 
  • Having quinoa cooked ahead of time makes this beet stir fry whip up quickly. 
  • The larger the carrots and beets the easier they will spiralize.
  • Keep an eye on your veggies while cooking, you want them tender but just cooked so there's still some crunch.
  • Adding in some fresh ginger is a great flavor bump up.
  • Store leftover beet stir fry in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat it in a wok with a bit of oil.
