    Crockpot Quinoa & Vegetables

    What Size Crockpot?

    When I make this dish I use this Hamilton Beach 6 qt Slow Cooker. I find that it is my go-to crockpot lately. This recipe will fit in a 4 qt or larger crockpot.

    Crockpot Quinoa Tips

    When making quinoa in the crockpot it is important to add your ingredients but not lift the lid until the time is up. If you open the crockpot you are releasing heat and steam. This will extend the cooking time by 20 - 30 minutes (roughly) each time. So, don't open your crockpot.

    Seasoning

    When it comes to seasoning a dish like this it is hard to give measurements because everyone is cooking with different types of chicken or vegetable stock, different varieties of vegetables. My tip is to taste everything. Add a little garlic salt, or spice up your dish with a little turmeric. Don't be afraid to add some seasonings to mix things up a bit.

      I love the quinoa, with veggies and grilled chicken. I have been adding more quinoa since my doctor has me eliminating wheat. I need to build up my recipe box with recipes like this one. Thanks for the share.

      Very yummy and versatile recipe. I added about 3 tbsp cilantro and 1 tbsp basil. My broth was not very salty so I also added some salt and a can of chick peas. I think any combo of vegies you like would taste good in this. I added fresh tomatoes at the end when I added my herbs for a nice fresh pop though green peas would work too.

        To be honest, I have never tried. I wouldn't see why not. Let me know how it turns out. 🙂

      Amanda, I would love to try the crockpot quinoa and vegetables recipe but there doesn't appear to be a link to the actual recipe. All I get is a very yummy looking photo. II am newly subscribed. Am I missing something?

        Hi Judi, We were having some technical issues earlier, but they should be all resolved now. Try again and the recipe should be there. Sorry for the difficulty.

      This is really tasty! It's simple, cheap, healthy, and easily modifiable. I used basil and an orange pepper instead of red, plus I didn't have any carrots (sadly) and it still worked out beautifully. Thank you for having the option to change it to one serving - I'm single and always accidentally make too much food for myself, but this was a perfect portion.

      I loved this dish! I doubled the recipe and, after reading another comment, added 2 cans of chickpeas. It yielded a HUGE amount and is going to last me a long time - I may even have to freeze some. It's super easy, tasty, and healthy!
