Quinoa pizza bites are an easy way to get in some more whole grains into your diet, and a great alternative for anyone that follows a gluten-free diet. You can quickly prep these yourself or have your little chefs join you in the kitchen by chopping the pepperoni, cracking the eggs, mixing & measuring seasonings, and practice in opening the cans for the sauce.
Once your pizza bites are in the oven, you can whip up a quick yet tasty no-cook pizza sauce for dipping. The quinoa bites and the sauce are a huge hit among our Kids Kitchen chefs!
