- 1 cup frozen edamame, shelled
- 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, red bell pepper, edamame, and chickpeas.
Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat all the vegetables evenly.
Spread the vegetable mixture evenly on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until tender and slightly golden.
While the vegetables are roasting, blend the cottage cheese in a food processor until smooth to create a creamy consistency.
After 20 minutes, remove the vegetables from the oven and transfer them to a large baking dish.
Pour the blended cottage cheese over the roasted vegetables, stirring gently to combine.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the vegetable mixture.
Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the top.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your High Protein Cheesy Vegetable Medley.
