Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Yield: 4
Ingredients – Crunchy Roasted Chickpeas (croutons)
- 2 cups cooked chickpeas
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- pinch pepper
Ingredients – Caesar Salad
- 1 head romaine lettuce (1.5 lb/680 g), chopped
- 1 batch Vegan Caesar Dressing
- 1/3 cup vegan parmesan cheese (optional)
Method
For the shells:
- Make the crunchy roasted chickpeas: Pre-heat oven to 400F/200C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the chickpeas very dry and toss into a medium bowl with the olive oil, sea salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Pour the seasoned chickpeas onto the baking sheet and roast until crunchy and golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Stir after 20 minutes for an even bake. Let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the romaine lettuce and pour in 1 batch of the Vegan Caesar Dressing. Toss to combine. Sprinkle with vegan parmesan cheese (optional) and toss again. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the crunchy roasted chickpeas.
Note
Roasted chickpeas can be replaced with 1 cup store-bought roasted chickpeas, or 1 cup of croutons. (Croutons will make this recipe no longer gluten-free and grain-free).
