Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 medium carrots peeled, washed, and diced
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups cooked quinoa about 1 ½ cups uncooked quinoa
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese + extra for topping optional

Instructions

Prep:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F and lightly coat the baking dish with cooking spray. 

Make the sauce:

  1. Steam the carrots in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat for 12-15 minutes or until tender. 
  2. Place the cooked carrots, milk, Dijon mustard, and salt into a blender. Puree until smooth and creamy. Add a little more milk if needed (carrot size can vary), but the texture should be smooth, not liquid.

Bake:

  1. In a large bowl, mix the quinoa, cheese, and carrot puree until combined. Transfer into a medium baking dish.
  2. Bake for 20 minutes, until bubbly. If desired, top with additional shredded cheese and serve immediately.
