  • 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • Salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning, to taste

Chickpea Stew:

  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbsp harissa paste
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 23 Tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
  • 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained
  • 1 cup (240 ml) canned coconut milk
  • 2 oz (60 g) spinach or kale

Instructions

  1. Roast the Cherry Tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 360°F/180°C. Spread cherry tomatoes on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and Italian seasoning, and roast for 25-30 minutes.

  • To adjust spice levels, vary the amount of harissa paste or add chili for heat.
  • Adjust consistency with plant-based milk for a thinner stew or thicken with cornstarch slurry.
