Method

  1. Cook quinoa according to package instructions.
  2. Heat oven to 200C bake or 180C fan bake. 
  3. Combine courgettes, chickpeas, oil, paprika, ground coriander, salt, and pepper in a roasting tray or large baking dish and toss to coat. Bake for 15 -20 minutes or until cooked to your liking.

Cooking tips:

You can save the chickpea brine/aquafaba and turn it into mayonnaise, meringues, or use it in mousse.

Adapt it:

A punnet of cherry tomatoes also works well here. Bulghur wheat, pearl barley, and brown rice make tasty substitutions for this dish. 

Leftover tips:

Eat for lunch the next day.
