Quinoa. Any substitutes for it? Chia seeds, maybe?

I’ve been craving this casserole I used to make with quinoa, goat cheese and thyme.
I think it’s mostly the goat cheese and thyme flavors that I miss, with the texture of the quinoa/egg/ricotta. I’d like to attempt it w/o the sweet potatoes, but I’m wondering if there’s a sub for quinoa.

Has anyone tried putting chia seeds in place of quinoa? Maybe flax seeds?

Cauliflower Rice for me would be the closest keto substitute…

All good substitutes. Chia seeds Are a bit high in carbohydrates, and lectins
