INGREDIENTS
200g Cauliflower Florets
100g Chickpeas, canned and drained
50g Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese
100g Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Garlic Powder
½ tsp Smoked Paprika
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the cauliflower florets with a bit of olive oil, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Spread them out on a baking sheet.
Roast the cauliflower in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
While the cauliflower roasts, drain and pat dry the chickpeas, then gently mash them with a fork to create a chunky, crumb-like texture.
Once the cauliflower is done, transfer it to an oven-safe bowl. Stir in the reduced fat cheddar cheese until it starts to melt, creating a creamy sauce around the cauliflower.
Sprinkle the prepared chickpea crumbs evenly over the top.
Return the bowl to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes to crisp up the chickpea topping.
Remove from the oven and let sit for a couple of minutes. Swirl in the plain nonfat Greek yogurt to add a creamy tang that complements the dish.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, protein-rich baked cauliflower mac with crispy chickpea crumbs.
