In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the chopped nuts. 6. Toast the nuts for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently. 7. Once the quinoa is done, fluff it with a fork and add the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. 8. Stir in the toasted nuts, chopped spinach, and cranberries if using. 9. Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious bowl!
