Naturally Gluten Free Quinoa And Roasted Corn

If you still need some naturally gluten-free side dishes for Thanksgiving, then this one is perfect! It's fresh, filling, and most importantly healthy. All the ingredients are of course natural, gluten-free, and pretty simple to get. There is no dairy in it as well as a few other allergens like eggs. If you're worried about how much this recipe will make then you should know that it easily makes a large portion for 6-8 people depending on how much they take. If you have leftovers it can also be put in the fridge to last days. Many people also worry about quinoa cross reacting and causing a reaction. If you are worried about that just use brown rice instead. Enjoy!
