Instant Pot Quinoa

I have cooked quinoa a few different ways and the Instant Pot is hand-down my favorite. In terms of easy clean up, hands-off cooking, and fluffiness it outranks the stovetop and rice cooker by far! I love to make a big batch of quinoa at the beginning of the week for meal prep. It makes my life so much easier. Quinoa makes a great base for a burrito bowl or a quinoa salad. I also love it in our Chicken Broccoli Cheese Casserole.

Ingredients in Instant Pot Quinoa

Quinoa – Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) is a seed that when cooked, has a similar consistency to grains like rice. I used white quinoa in this recipe, but you can also use tricolor quinoa which is a blend of red quinoa, black quinoa and white quinoa. It is also gluten-free.Water – Use filtered water if possible! To add more flavor you can also use chicken broth or vegetable broth. Salt – For this basic recipe, I just seasoned with salt. However, you can add any seasonings that will complement the meal you make with your quinoa.
