INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Roasted Chickpeas
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Roasted Mixed Vegetables (Bell Peppers, Zucchini, Red Onion)
1 scoop Pea Protein Powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Rinse and drain chickpeas, pat dry, and toss with a little olive oil, salt, and your favorite spices (such as smoked paprika and cumin). Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy, shaking the pan midway.
While the chickpeas roast, cook the quinoa according to package directions. Typically, combine quinoa with water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
Prepare the vegetable medley by chopping bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Toss them lightly with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa and roasted vegetables. Once the chickpeas are done, add them to the bowl. Finally, stir in the pea protein powder, mixing thoroughly to incorporate the protein boost evenly throughout the bowl.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve warm and enjoy this nutrient-packed power bowl that satisfies both your hunger and your protein and calorie goals.
