Ingredients
  

For the Roasted Chickpeas and Broccoli:
  • 1 15-ounce can chickpeas (garbanzo beans) drained, rinsed, and patted dry
  • Olive oil cooking spray or a tiny bit of olive oil may be substituted
  • 3 to 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 to 2 cups sugar snap peas
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 to 1 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
  • Fresh parsley optional for garnishing

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula

Method
 

Directions:
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature will help achieve that perfect crispy texture.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets and sugar snap peas. Drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, add the drained and dried chickpeas. Lightly spray or drizzle them with olive oil, then sprinkle with nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. Toss until all the chickpeas are well coated with the cheesy mixture.
  4. Step 4: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the seasoned broccoli and sugar snap peas on one side of the sheet, and the chickpeas on the other side.
  5. Step 5: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through. The chickpeas should be golden and crispy, while the vegetables should be tender yet still bright in color.
  6. Step 6: Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy your cheesy roasted chickpeas and broccoli!
