INGREDIENTS
300 grams Cauliflower
100 grams Chickpeas
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Break the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and toss with a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet.
Roast the cauliflower in the oven for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly golden.
Meanwhile, drain and pat dry the chickpeas. In a bowl, toss them with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a separate baking tray.
Bake the seasoned chickpeas for 15-20 minutes until they turn crispy, stirring halfway through.
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted cauliflower (reserve a few florets for garnish), nonfat Greek yogurt, and nutritional yeast. Blend until you achieve a smooth, creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Transfer the cauliflower sauce to an ovenproof dish. Top with the crispy chickpea crumbs and garnish with any reserved cauliflower pieces for extra texture.
Return the dish to the oven for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious, protein-packed meal.
