A comforting twist on a classic mac 'n' cheese, this baked cauliflower mac is elevated with crispy chickpea crumbs for a delightful crunch. Creamy, savory, and perfectly seasoned, it’s a clean, nutritious dish that's as satisfying as it is flavorful.
INGREDIENTS
300g Cauliflower
1/2 cup Canned Chickpeas (drained)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1 large Egg
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until tender, about 8-10 minutes, then drain well.
In a large bowl, combine the steamed cauliflower, low-fat cottage cheese, egg, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mash lightly to create a creamy, chunky consistency.
Transfer the cauliflower mixture into a lightly greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
In a food processor or by using your hands, pulse the drained chickpeas until they form coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the chickpea crumbs evenly over the cauliflower base.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
