How to Prepare Baked Quinoa Balls [Vegan]

Measure 1 cup of quinoa, rinse well, and place into a pot. Add exactly double the volume of water and bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes until all the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat and leave to stand for 5 minutes.
Fluff up with a fork and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Leave to cool for about 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 390°F.
Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
Add the rest of the ingredients to the quinoa and stir everything together.
With your hands make balls (about 1 1/2 tablespoon-sized) and place onto lined baking sheet. If your hands get too sticky, wash them in between.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes until they look crispy and start to slightly brown.
Serve warm or cold.
