INGREDIENTS
150g Cauliflower florets
1/2 cup canned chickpeas (rinsed)
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1/2 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, toss the rinsed chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on the baking sheet.
Roast the chickpeas in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until they are crisp and golden, stirring once halfway.
Meanwhile, steam or lightly roast the cauliflower florets until just tender (about 10 minutes if steaming or 15 minutes in the oven).
In a separate bowl, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt, nutritional yeast, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper to create a creamy sauce.
Mix the steamed cauliflower with the yogurt sauce until well coated.
Transfer the sauced cauliflower to a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Once the chickpeas are crispy, scatter them over the dish.
Bake everything together in the oven for 5-8 minutes, just until the mozzarella starts to melt, ensuring the dish is warm and cohesive.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
