It makes this bake really filling and satisfying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really love quinoa, it has a slightly nutty taste to it and is a great alternative to rice, couscous, pasta etc. Although it looks and tastes like a grain, it's actually a seed.&nbsp;It's a great option for those who can't tolerate grains or are gluten free&nbsp;due to an intolerance or other similar issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should always make sure you rinse it under running cold water, before cooking, unless it states otherwise on the packaging, otherwise it can have an unpleasant bitter taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"1027\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/quinoa-bake-5.jpg\" alt=\"Chicken, Zucchini, Parmesan and Quinoa Bake\u00a0makes the perfect protein-packed lunch or snack on the go for your the entire family.

I love to use the tricoloured quinoa in this&nbsp;Chicken, Zucchini, Parmesan and Quinoa Bake, &nbsp;as it adds lovely flecks of colour to the bake along with the delicious speed food zucchini (courgette).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zucchini is probably one of my favourite speed foods. It's super quick to make and can be used in such a variety of dishes. These little <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/zucchini-and-parmesan-quinoa-bites\" rel=\"false\"><span style=\"color: #874149;\">Zucchini and Parmesan Quinoa Bites<\/span><\/a><\/strong> are another regular I like to make to have alongside some soup, as well as these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/cheesy-sweet-potato-and-zucchini-bites\" rel=\"false\"><span style=\"color: #874149;\"><strong>Cheesy Sweet Potato<span style=\"color: #874149;\"> a<\/span>nd Zucchini Bites<\/strong><\/span><\/a>&nbsp;- yum!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It's also great for a replacement for pasta if you have one of these handy <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2DSiiPS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"color: #874149;\"><strong>vegetable spiralizers,<\/strong><\/span><\/a>&nbsp;which is an awesome gadget to have, especially if you struggle with veggies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way I love to use zucchini, is as soldiers for my boiled eggs - who would have thought? Definitely me. I season with salt and paprika and bake until caramelized and use them instead of toast to dip in my eggs. You can even wrap them with some ham or bacon before baking in the oven. If you are short on time in the mornings, make them in advance and you can just heat as you need them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"1027\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/quinoa-bake-2.jpg\" alt=\"Chicken, Zucchini, Parmesan and Quinoa Bake\u00a0makes the perfect protein-packed lunch or snack on the go for your the entire family.
