This dish delivers a satisfying mix of textures and flavors while keeping it clean and balanced.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium head Cauliflower (300g)
0.75 cup Canned Chickpeas (120g)
3 tbsp Nutritional Yeast (15g)
0.25 cup Low-Fat Parmesan Cheese (28g)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (5g)
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Tear the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Steam or lightly boil for 4-5 minutes until slightly tender but still firm. Drain well.
Meanwhile, rinse and drain the canned chickpeas. In a bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Spread the seasoned chickpeas evenly on the baking tray and bake for 20-25 minutes until they become crispy, stirring halfway through.
In a large bowl, combine the steamed cauliflower with nutritional yeast, Parmesan cheese, and a light seasoning of salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly.
Top the cauliflower mixture with the crispy baked chickpeas just before serving for an added crunch.
Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious, protein-packed dish!
