INGREDIENTS
300g Cauliflower
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Roasted Chickpeas
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the cauliflower florets with a bit of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Spread them on a baking tray and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
In a blender, combine the roasted cauliflower (reserve half for topping), nonfat Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, and nutritional yeast. Blend until smooth and creamy; adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Transfer the blended cauliflower sauce into an oven-safe dish. Stir in the remaining roasted cauliflower florets for texture.
Sprinkle the roasted chickpeas evenly over the top to form a crispy crumb layer.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the chickpea crumbs to crisp up further.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your warm, hearty, and protein-packed meal!
