Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Spray nonstick cooking spray on a baking sheet and place the hazelnuts on the tray. Make sure the hazelnuts are spread out in one even layer. Place the hazelnuts in the oven for 5-7 minutes.
In a medium pot cook the quinoa according to the package instructions.
