Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup uncooked quinoa soaked for at least 8 hours
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon grapeseed oil to grease the pan
  • Toppings of your choice asparagus, broccoli, mushrooms, etc.
  • Marinara sauce
  • Cheese optional, can use vegan cheese

Instructions

  • Line a 9" springform pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the pan with grapeseed oil, and set aside. 
  • In a bowl, cover the quinoa with at least 1 inch of water and soak the quinoa for at least 8 hours. Soaking longer will further reduce any bitter flavour from the quinoa.
  • Drain and rinse the quinoa, and transfer it to the cup of a food processor. Add the 1/4 cup water, baking powder and salt, and pulse until you have a smooth batter (about 2 minutes), scraping down the sides as needed to ensure an evenly texture .
  • Pour the batter into the pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  • Bake the crust for 15 minutes at 400°F, then flip the crust (while removing the parchment paper) and cook for another 5 minutes, until the edges of the crust start to brown.
  • Add your marinara sauce and toppings of choice, and return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes until the toppings are well cooked and any cheese has melted nicely.
