Salad Ingredients
- 1 delicata squash cut into half moons
- 1 tbsp olive oil optional
- 2 tbsp gluten free planko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 15 oz canned chickpeas drained, rinsed and patted dry
- 1 bunch Tuscan kale chopped and massaged
Dairy Free Caesar Salad Dressing Ingredients
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 2 tbsp miso paste
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 2-4 tbsp water for desired thickness
- ½ tsp black pepper
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees convection bake.
- Add the squash to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil if using. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, garlic and sea salt and use your hands to combine the mixture. Pour onto a large metal baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the chickpeas onto the baking sheet and season everything with a little sea salt and spread into an even, not too crowded layer. Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the squash to make sure it's evenly coated.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 25-35 minutes until golden and crisp, flipping halfway through.
- Meanwhile, prepare your dressing by adding all ingredients to a blender, starting with 2 tbsp of water. Puree until smooth and creamy, and add more water if desired, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add the kale to a large serving bowl and top with the cooked squash and chickpeas.
- Drizzle with dressing right before serving and enjoy!
