INGREDIENTS
1 eggplant (150g)
0.5 cup canned chickpeas (82g)
0.25 cup dry quinoa (43g)
0.75 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (170g)
1 cup raw spinach (30g)
1 teaspoon olive oil (5g)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (15g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cube the eggplant into bite-sized pieces and place them on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season lightly with salt and paprika if desired, and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the eggplant in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until tender and lightly caramelized, stirring once halfway through.
While the eggplant roasts, prepare the quinoa by rinsing it under cold water. Cook quinoa according to package instructions until fluffy.
In a small pan, heat chickpeas with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a dash of cumin for 5 minutes until warmed through.
In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with lemon juice. Stir in a little salt and pepper for a creamy, tangy dressing.
In your serving bowl, layer the cooked quinoa, roasted eggplant, warmed chickpeas, and fresh spinach.
Drizzle the Greek yogurt dressing over the bowl and gently toss or serve as a layered bowl.
