🏔️ Chase’s Plant Protein Bowl
A colorful, high-fiber, high-protein meal prep staple.
Ingredients
2 cans chickpeas (unsalted, rinsed)
1 small onion or ½ large onion, sliced
1 head broccoli, chopped
1 green pepper (or any color)
1 red pepper (or any color)
1 cup spinach
½–1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
Crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon chia seeds
½ lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons olive oil (add more if needed)
Salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste
(Optional: garlic powder, paprika, red pepper flakes for extra flavor)
Directions
Drain and rinse chickpeas thoroughly, especially if using salted varieties. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Chop all vegetables — onion, broccoli, peppers, and tomatoes — and add them to the bowl.
Add spinach and gently toss everything together.
Drizzle in the olive oil and sprinkle on your seasonings. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are coated.
Spread the mixture onto a foil-lined baking sheet. Spray or lightly oil the foil to prevent sticking.
Sprinkle chia seeds evenly across the mixture.
Add an extra drizzle of olive oil if you prefer a crispier roast.
Squeeze the lemon over the top.
Cook in one of the following ways:
Air Fryer: 400°F for about 20 minutes
Oven: Roast at 400°F for 20–25 minutes or until vegetables reach your desired texture
Remove from heat and top with crumbled feta while warm.
Serve immediately or store for meal prep. This batch typically makes about four hearty servings.
Chase’s Flavor Tip
For extra depth, add a spoonful of hummus, a drizzle of balsamic glaze, or toss everything with cooked quinoa for a more filling
