Vegan ‘Caesar’ Bowls with Roasted Broccoli & Chickpeas

Oven-Crisped Spiced Pita Chips

All hail the vegan Caesar. We’re reworking everyone’s favourite salad dressing so that it stays rich, creamy and entirely plant-based. Almond butter creates the volume and consistency of egg, while nutritional yeast provides the umami edge of Parmesan. With garlic and capers, it’s a plushy flavour blanket for substantial bowls of roasted chickpeas and florets of broccoli tossed with lettuce. Tear up the pita for spiced, oven-baked chips… and then tear right into it!

Preparation

Roast the broccoli & chickpeas

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Mince the garlic. On a lined sheet pan, toss the broccoli (halve if large) and chickpeas with a drizzle of oil, ¾ of the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 14 to 18 min., until tender. In the final 5 min., add ¾ of the garlic.

Make the pita chips

Meanwhile, tear the pita into bite-size pieces. On a second lined sheet pan, toss the pita with a drizzle of oil, the remaining spices and S&P. Bake, flipping halfway, 3 to 5 min., until golden brown and crispy.

Make the vinaigrette

Meanwhile, juice the lemon. Roughly chop the capers. In a large bowl, whisk the almond butter and lemon juice. Add 3 tbsp oil, 1 tbsp water (double both for 4 portions), the capers, nutritional yeast, remaining garlic and S&P; stir well.
