Preparation
  1. Place quinoa in a bowl and cover with cold water. Let soak overnight.

  3. Transfer soaked quinoa to a blender, add garlic, 1/2 cup of water, and salt. Blend on high until smooth, adding more water if needed to achieve a batter similar to thin pancake batter.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush or spread olive oil evenly over the surface.
  5. Pour quinoa batter onto the prepared sheet and spread into a thin, even layer. Sprinkle desired toppings over the surface, or leave plain.
Baking

Cooling
  1. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before breaking into pieces.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to one month. If humidity softens them, re-crisp in a low oven at 275°F (135°C) for 5-7 minutes.
