INGREDIENTS
300 grams Cauliflower, raw
1 cup Canned Chickpeas, drained
0.75 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
0.5 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Break the cauliflower into small florets and steam or microwave until just tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Meanwhile, drain and rinse the chickpeas. In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Spread the seasoned chickpeas on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until they become crispy and golden, stirring halfway through.
Place the steamed cauliflower in a baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded part-skim mozzarella evenly over the cauliflower.
Transfer the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and slightly brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and top with the crispy roasted chickpea crumbs.
Serve warm and enjoy this balanced, comforting meal.
