Vegan Grain/Gluten-Free Simple Quinoa & Carrots


I must admit, cooked carrots on not on my favorite list...... buuuut, they are so good for you.  Quite the dilema eh?  When prepared this way, I actually enjoy these crunchy tasty guys.  ENJOY!!!

Vegan Grain/Gluten-Free Simple Quinoa & Carrots
1/2 cup Quinoa
1/2 teaspoon Herb Stop's Make Mom Proud/Power Up Power Shake or any powdered broth
1 teaspoon Herb Stop's Spaghetti Seasoning
1 1/2 cups minus 1 tablespoon Water
1 Scallion, diced
1 Carrot, sliced
Dried Herb Stop's Minced Green Onion (optional)

Rinse quinoa very well.  Add to a medium pot with water, shake/broth and spaghetti seasoning.  Bring to a boil then reduce to medium high heat and cook for 5-7 minutes or until 1/2 the water is absorbed.  Add carrots and scallions.  Cook until water is fully absorbed.  Serve hot with minced green onion sprinkled over the top as garnish.
