Creamy Cottage Cheese Bowl with Roasted Vegetables and Crispy Chickpeas
Enjoy a vibrant bowl featuring velvety low-fat cottage cheese paired with sweet roasted bell pepper and zucchini, all topped with crunchy, spiced chickpeas. This dish is a balanced blend of creamy and crisp textures that delights your palate with each bite.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (~210g)
½ medium Red Bell Pepper (~75g)
½ medium Zucchini (~65g)
¼ cup Crispy Chickpeas (~40g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
½ tsp Smoked Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas if using canned. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the chickpeas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 20-25 minutes or until crispy, stirring halfway through.
While the chickpeas roast, dice the red bell pepper and slice the zucchini into half-moons. You can lightly season these with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired, then either roast them alongside the chickpeas for the last 10 minutes or set them aside fresh.
In a bowl, add the low-fat cottage cheese as the base, and gently layer the roasted or fresh vegetables on top.
Once the chickpeas are crispy, sprinkle them over the bowl for added crunch. Give a final drizzle of olive oil if extra richness is desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this balanced, protein-packed meal.
