I’ve been on a meatless kick lately, and it’s not really intentional – I just love my veggies! Carrots are the best roasted in the oven, and adding chickpeas and za’atar makes them over-the-top good! Some of my other favorite carrot recipes are Roasted Rainbow Carrots with Ginger and Roasted Carrots with Feta Truffle & Lemon Zest.,
,I teamed up with Stonyfield to make this recipe and used their organic whole milk Greek yogurt. Since this was a vegetarian main dish, and all the ingredients are pretty light I went with full fat rather than fat-free, which is so much tastier and creamier, less tangy and a great source of protein. Chickpeas are a good source of fiber and protein, and Greek yogurt has a ton of protein. Did you know that all proteins from milk deliver the amino acid nutrients that match human requirements better than plant proteins? For this reason, they are often called the highest protein quality – and incorporating these proteins into meals and recipes gives your dish a nutritious boost!,Yogurt: If you prefer to use fat-free yogurt instead, that’s fine too.,Carrots: If you can find multi-colored baby carrots, great. I bought mine at Trader Joe’s. If not, thinner farmers’ market carrots would work too. If you can only find large carrots, just slice them in half lengthwise.,Kale: I prefer Lacinato kale (also called dinosaur kale and Tuscan kale). Lacinato is more tender than curly kale, but curly will work if you can’t find Lacinato. The most important step when working with raw kale is to massage it in a little bit of dressing. Massaging the kale breaks it down and makes it softer. For this recipe, just massage the kale with some olive oil, lemon juice, and salt for a couple of minutes until the kale turns a darker shade of green.,Greek Chicken Meal Prep Rice Bowls,Mediterranean Sea Bass,Mediterranean Bean Salad,Spiralized Mediterranean Beet and Feta Skillet Bake,Mediterranean Chicken Kebab Salad
