PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • 2

    Chop the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Toss them lightly with a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

  • 3

    Spread the cauliflower evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly golden.

  • 4

    While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the chickpea crumbs by spreading the canned (or pre-cooked) chickpeas on another baking sheet. Lightly season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder. Roast for about 15-20 minutes until crispy. Once cooled, pulse them lightly in a food processor until you have a crunchy crumb texture.

  • 5

    In a small bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt and nutritional yeast. Mix well to form a creamy sauce. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

  • 6

    Once the cauliflower is done, transfer it to a mixing bowl. Pour the yogurt sauce over the roasted cauliflower and gently toss to combine.

  • 7

    Transfer the sauced cauliflower to a serving dish and top generously with the crispy chickpea crumbs. Serve warm and enjoy your nutrient-packed, lower-calorie twist on mac and cheese.
