INGREDIENTS
1 medium Zucchini (196g)
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (150g)
2 tbsp Cashews (20g)
1 cup Chickpeas (164g)
1/4 cup Fresh Basil (15g)
1 clove Garlic (3g)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice (15g)
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast (16g)
1 tbsp Hemp Seeds (10g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and place them on the baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with a pinch of salt and a tiny splash of water if needed, then roast for about 15-20 minutes until they begin to burst and soften.
While the tomatoes are roasting, spiralize the zucchini to create noodles and set aside in a bowl.
In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine fresh basil, garlic, cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and hemp seeds. Pulse until smooth, adding a little water gradually to achieve a creamy pesto consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss the zucchini noodles with the creamy pesto until they are well coated.
Fold in the chickpeas to add extra protein and texture.
Once the cherry tomatoes are roasted, gently mix them into the noodle mixture.
Serve immediately, enjoying the fresh, vibrant flavors of this creamy, nutrient-dense vegan meal.
