INGREDIENTS
400g Cauliflower Florets
150g Chickpeas
57g Shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well coated.
Spread the seasoned cauliflower on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly golden.
Meanwhile, drain and pat dry the chickpeas. Lightly toss them with a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast to prepare the crispy crumbs.
Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it into an oven-safe baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the cauliflower.
Drizzle the almond milk evenly over the dish and then sprinkle the remaining nutritional yeast on top.
Top the dish with the seasoned chickpeas, pressing them gently to adhere.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the chickpea crumbs are crispy.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
