Let it cool completely. Store in a freezer bag up to six months removing all of the air.

I have not had any problem freezing quinoa.

Can you mix it with ground beef for meatloaf?

[Laura]

I freeze quinoa all the time. I’ve never noticed any difference after reheating it

[Cameron]

Mason jars vacum seal it keep in fridge then use it up with other meals

Quinoa patties (combine with egg and flour to bind and add extras like cheese, beans, shredded protein and veggies, seasonings, etc) pan fry! They are so good.

I love a zucchini parm quinoa patty. They freeze well!

Quinoa burgers or meatballs (I’ve seen recipes that you purée with beans or nuts for a vegetarian dish)

Quinoa “fried rice” reheat with soy sauce, egg, veggies, scallions, etc.

Use in Place of breadcrumbs in meatloaf
Quinoa porridge (cook in milk, maple, cinnamon for a breakfast porridge or coconut curry for a savory take)

Pizza dip! Mix quinoa with pizza sauce then layer cream cheese, sauce, mozzarella, serve hot.

Mix in spinach artichoke dip for higher protein (that would freeze well for sure)

I’ve cooked too much in the past as well and freezing it is just fine.

I just took out a portion of cooked quinoa last night, let it thaw in fridge. For my dinner, which I’m about to eat, I put some quinoa [saving the other half for tomorrow night] in a micro dish, added ratatouille that I made fresh, some pesto and shaved Parmesan cheese, microwaved and now it’s ready.

Quinoa freezes beautifully, just put it in a ziploc freezer bag, or other container.

It does freeze in a block, so it’s best to portion unless you want a larger amount when you thaw.

You should be able to freeze it. I would try to dry it out as much as possible before doing so. This way when you go to heat it up, you can rehydrate with a little broth.
