Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams red potatoes
- 240 grams canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and dice the red potatoes into 1-inch cubes. It's not necessary to peel them unless desired.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, chickpeas, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Spread the mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through until the potatoes are golden and tender.
While the potatoes are baking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the cumin, chili flakes, and paprika. Cook for another minute to toast the spices.
Once the potatoes and chickpeas are done baking, remove them from the oven and add them to the skillet with the garlic and spices.
Toss everything together over low heat, adding the nutritional yeast and lemon juice to distribute evenly.
Transfer to your serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm as a high-protein side dish or a main course option.
