Can I substitute buckwheat with another grain?

Yes, you can use quinoa, brown rice, or farro as alternatives, but cooking times may vary.

How should I store leftover baked buckwheat?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave with a splash of water to prevent dryness.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

What can I add to enhance the flavor?

Try adding garlic, mushrooms, or herbs like thyme for extra depth. A dash of soy sauce or lemon juice also works well.

How can I adjust this recipe for a smaller portion?

Halve all ingredients and use a smaller baking dish, keeping the same oven temperature but checking for doneness at 20-25 minutes.

Is this recipe freezer-friendly?
