INGREDIENTS
1 cup canned chickpeas, drained
1 cup mixed roasted vegetables (red bell pepper, zucchini, red onion)
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1 oz feta cheese
1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 lemon (juice & zest)
2 cloves minced garlic
A pinch of dried oregano and a few sprigs fresh dill
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, lemon zest, minced garlic, and a pinch of dried oregano.
Spread the chickpeas on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until crispy, shaking the pan halfway through.
Meanwhile, chop the mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Toss them lightly with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast on a separate tray for about 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked.
For the creamy feta dressing, combine the feta cheese, plain nonfat Greek yogurt, a squeeze of lemon juice, and fresh chopped dill in a small bowl. Mix until well blended.
Assemble the dish in a bowl by layering the roasted chickpeas, vegetables, and quinoa. Drizzle the creamy feta dressing over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavor-packed meal.
