Today’s Recipe: Roasted Broccoli and Spicy Chickpea Snack

Greetings, fellow foodies! Today, I am thrilled to share with you a delicious and healthy snack recipe that’s perfect for satisfying your cravings while still nourishing your body. Inspired by the crisp autumn air and the desire for a flavorful treat, I present to you my Roasted Broccoli and Spicy Chickpea snack.

To begin, gather the following ingredients: 200g broccoli florets, 150g canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed), 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste.

Ensure you have the necessary kitchen tools on hand:

• baking sheet
• mixing bowl
• spatula

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, chickpeas, olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Spread the seasoned broccoli and chickpeas out on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and slightly charred, and the chickpeas are crispy.

Once roasted to perfection, remove from the oven and allow the snack to cool slightly before enjoying. The aroma of the spicy chickpeas and roasted broccoli will tantalize your senses, making it hard to resist digging in right away.

The total weight of the cooked Roasted Broccoli and Spicy Chickpea snack is approximately 400g, with four servings. Each serving weighs around 100g, and contains an estimated 150 calories.

Here’s a unique tip for this recipe: before roasting, sprinkle a little lemon zest over the broccoli and chickpeas for an added burst of citrusy flavor. The lemon zest will complement the spicy seasonings and bring a bright freshness to the dish.

I encourage you to give this Roasted Broccoli and Spicy Chickpea snack a try! Feel free to customize it with your favorite seasonings or add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving. Enjoy this nutritious and delicious snack whenever hunger strikes. Until next time, happy cooking!
