Crispy Quinoa Tuna Crunch Bowls

Ingredients (for 5 bowls)

• 1½ cups dry quinoa, rinsed
• 3 cups bone broth
• 3 tbsp chili crisp
• 1½ tbsp olive oil
• ¾ tsp kosher salt
• Black pepper, to taste
• 5 cans tuna (5 oz each), drained well
• ⅓ cup Greek yogurt
• 2½ tbsp mayo
• 2½ tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• ½ cup green onions, thinly sliced
• ¼ cup very thinly sliced red onion
• ½ tsp kosher salt

Bowl Add-Ins (for the week)

• • 2½ cups shelled edamame (thawed if frozen)
  • 2 large English cucumbers, sliced
  • 2–3 avocados, diced
  • 5 soft-boiled eggs, halved
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Everything Bagel seasoning, for topping

Directions:

1. Bring bone broth to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook 12–15 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Fluff and let steam off for 5–10 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 375°F.
3. Spread quinoa on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Drizzle with chili crisp, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly, then spread into a thin layer.
4. Bake 30–35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until golden and crisp. Let cool completely — it crisps more as it cools.
5. In a large bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, mayo, honey, sriracha, rice vinegar, salt, green onions, and red onion. Gently fold in tuna until combined but still flaky.

For each serving:

• ~1 cup crispy quinoa
• Generous scoop of tuna salad
• Add edamame, cucumber, avocado, and egg
• Finish with cilantro and Everything Bagel seasoning

Meal-prep tip: store quinoa separately and add just before eating to preserve crunch.
