INGREDIENTS
3 cups Cauliflower Florets (210g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt (110g)
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast (16g)
3/4 cup Cooked Chickpeas (130g)
1/3 cup Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese, Shredded (38g)
2 tsp Olive Oil (9g)
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Pinch of Salt
1 tsp Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Steam or lightly boil the cauliflower florets until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the low-fat Greek yogurt, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to form a creamy sauce.
Add the cooked cauliflower to a baking dish and gently toss with the yogurt sauce, ensuring even coating.
In a separate bowl, combine the cooked chickpeas with 1 tsp of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper. Lightly mash some chickpeas with a fork to create a crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the chickpea mixture evenly over the sauced cauliflower, then top with shredded low-fat cheddar cheese.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tsp of olive oil over the top to help with crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden, and the chickpea crumbs are crispy.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your wholesome, cheesy baked cauliflower mac!
