Baked Cauliflower Mac with Crispy Chickpea Crumbs
Enjoy a comforting twist on a classic mac dish using tender, roasted cauliflower as a pasta substitute smothered in a creamy, tangy sauce and crowned with crispy, spiced chickpea crumbs. This dish brings a delightful balance of textures and flavors in a wholesome meal.
INGREDIENTS
1 head Cauliflower (600g)
0.75 cup Chickpeas (123g, drained)
150 grams Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
0.5 teaspoon Paprika
0.5 teaspoon Salt
0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Break the cauliflower into florets. Steam or lightly roast until just tender, about 8-10 minutes if steaming, or 15 minutes if roasting with a light spray of olive oil.
While the cauliflower cooks, drain and pat dry the chickpeas. Toss the chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Then, pulse them in a food processor until they form coarse, crumb-like pieces, taking care not to over-blend.
In a large bowl, combine the warm cauliflower with nonfat Greek yogurt and nutritional yeast. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper as needed.
Transfer the cauliflower mixture into an oven-safe dish. Sprinkle the crispy chickpea crumbs evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until the chickpea crumbs become extra crisp and the flavors meld together.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy this nutritious, comforting dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
