Whip up these Vegetarian Mediterranean Style Bowls for a fresh and flavorful meal that’s as vibrant as it is easy to make. Packed with quinoa, arugula, and seasoned chickpeas, and topped with creamy tzatziki and feta, it’s a delicious option for any day of the week!!
The recipe:
Cook quinoa according to package.
Next, rinse and drain 1 can of chickpeas and pat dry. Then add the chickpeas to a baking sheet and add garlic powder, paprika and olive oil.
Bake at 400 degrees for ~12-15 minutes or until your chickpeas have started to get crispy! You can cook them for longer too if you like them extra crispy.
Next, wash and dice up all of your veggies. Don’t forget to wash your arugula, as well!
When the quinoa and chickpeas are done, it’s time to start building your bowl: add 1/2 cup cooked quinoa, 1 cup of a arugula and 1/3 of all of the diced veggies in a bowl.
Top each bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. You could add some salt and pepper here too!
Then top with feta and tzatziki! Enjoy!!
