For the salad
- 400 g broccoli cut into florets
- 235 g chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cloves garlic minced
For the dressing
- 4 tablespoon vegan mayonnaise
- 30 g nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon vegan Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce
For the breadcrumb top
- 4 tablespoon breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat your oven to 200C / 400F / gas mark 6.
Toss the broccoli florets and chickpeas in a large bowl with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the broccoli and chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and slightly charred.
While the broccoli and chickpeas are roasting, prepare the salad dressing.
In a small bowl, whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, lemon juice and vegan Worcestershire sauce until smooth and creamy.
Once the broccoli and chickpeas are done roasting, remove them from the oven and let cool slightly.
While cooling slightly, mix together the breadcrumbs with the lemon zest and a little salt and pepper.
Serve the roasted broccoli and chickpeas with the salad dressing and the breadcrumb topping.
