Instructions

Toss chickpeas, broccoli, and asparagus with oil on a tray. Roast at 375°F for 40 mins, tossing halfway for an even char.

Pour sauce over the warm roasted veggies. Top with onions, peanuts, and a final squeeze of lemon.

💡 Chef’s Notes

For a plant-based meal, 20g of protein is excellent. By using chickpeas as your base and reinforcing them with peanuts and broccoli, you’ve created a “complete” protein profile that is very satisfying.
The 16g of fiber per serving also slows down digestion, which helps you feel full much longer than a typical garden salad would.
