Baked Cauliflower Mac with Crispy Chickpea Crumbs
Enjoy a reimagined comfort dish that replaces traditional macaroni with tender roasted cauliflower, smothered in a savory Greek yogurt and nutritional yeast sauce. Topped with crispy roasted chickpeas, this dish offers a delightful mix of textures and flavors that is both satisfying and wholesome.
INGREDIENTS
200g Cauliflower
100g Chickpeas (canned, drained)
150g Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
15g Nutritional Yeast
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Break the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Toss the florets with half the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly golden.
Meanwhile, drain and pat dry the chickpeas. Toss them with the remaining olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a separate baking sheet.
Roast the chickpeas in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they become crispy, shaking the pan halfway through for even crisping.
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted cauliflower with Greek yogurt and nutritional yeast. Blend until smooth but still slightly chunky for texture; adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the cauliflower mixture into a serving bowl, then sprinkle the crispy chickpeas over the top as a crunchy garnish.
Serve warm and enjoy a comforting, protein-packed twist on mac and cheese.
