Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined—avoid overmixing.

Fold in cooked quinoa, crumbled feta, fresh parsley, and fresh dill, mixing gently to distribute evenly.

Spoon or scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing biscuits about 2 inches apart to yield roughly 12 biscuits.

Bake for 22-25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat as needed for snacks or meals.
