Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 400 grams canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 40 units garlic cloves (peeled)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 unit lemon (zested and juiced)
- 2 units fresh rosemary sprigs
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine broccoli florets and chickpeas.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice and zest, ground cumin, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Toss the broccoli and chickpeas with the olive oil mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the broccoli and chickpeas to a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Nestle the peeled garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs amongst the broccoli and chickpeas, ensuring they're evenly distributed.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking, until the broccoli is slightly charred and tender, and the garlic is golden and fragrant.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let it cool for 3-5 minutes.
Serve the dish warm, garnished with additional lemon zest or a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Enjoy!
