MILLET AND SPICED CHICKPEA BOWL

 

This Millet and Spiced Chickpea Bowl is a simple yet satisfying dish packed with plant-based protein, fibre and warm spices. Fluffy millet serves as a nutritious base, while crispy roasted chickpeas bring texture and flavour. A hint of paprika, olive oil and a touch of salt enhances the overall taste, making this dish a wholesome and well-balanced option for lunch or dinner. Millet is a gluten-free grain that offers a light, slightly nutty flavour, making it a fantastic alternative to rice or quinoa. The spiced chickpeas add crunch and depth, making every bite deliciously hearty. This Millet and Spiced Chickpea Bowl can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature and pairs well with fresh greens, tahini dressing or a squeeze of lemon for added zest. It’s a versatile, meal-prep-friendly dish that provides energy and nourishment in every serving.
