This 5-Ingredient Garlic Butter Quinoa recipe is a quick and flavorful side dish, combining fluffy quinoa with rich vegan butter, garlic, and vegetable broth. Perfectly easy to prepare in one pan with minimal ingredients, it complements a wide variety of meals.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter or butter/ghee
  • 2 – 3 teaspoons Simply Organic Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 cups vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the quinoa, vegan butter (or butter/ghee), garlic powder, sea salt, and vegetable broth into a small saucepan.
  2. Bring to Boil: Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally until the butter has melted completely.
  3. Simmer: Once boiling, cover the saucepan with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer gently for 15 minutes, allowing the quinoa to absorb the liquid and cook fully.
  4. Fluff and Rest: Remove the lid and take the pan off the heat. Use a fork to fluff the quinoa, then let it stand covered for 5 minutes to finish steaming and soften further.
  5. Serve: After standing, fluff once more if needed and serve warm as a side dish or base for your favorite meals.

Notes

  • If you are sensitive to garlic, start with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and adjust to taste.
  • Using vegetable broth instead of water adds extra flavor to the quinoa.
  • You can substitute vegan butter with regular butter or ghee depending on dietary preference.
  • Make sure to fluff the quinoa gently with a fork to keep it light and fluffy.
