🍲 Ingredients
Chickpeas – Chickpeas are great when baked. They add some plant-based protein to this recipe, they’re budget-friendly, and they work so well with the other ingredients. However, if you don’t love chickpeas, or don’t have any, you can swap them for any other kind of bean. Tahini – Tahini is a delicious sauce made with sesame seeds. It’s really good for you and rich in antioxidants. You can use it in things like dressings, or drizzle it on top of bowls or recipes. It adds a delicious sesame flavor. Greek Yogurt – Greek yogurt is a go-to in my household. It’s not just good on its own but plain Greek yogurt is so versatile. You can throw it into smoothies for extra protein, you can make dips with it, and you can use it in place of mayo or sour cream to make a recipe healthier. I also love to use it as part of a marinade to keep chicken juicy and flavorful. That’s how I used it in this Sheet Pan Chicken recipe.
