It’s roasting season! Tangy Za’atar covered chickpeas, grassy parsley, and nutty quinoa compliment the under-rated celery root! Toss in a bit of salty feta if you are Vegan-ish, and you’ll brighten up these grey days easier than you think! The easy prep takes 5 minutes. Then pop them in the oven, grab a seat on the couch and flip on the game!
My “meaty”, vegetarian version of this Italian favorite I often covet (but avoid at all costs), contains only 220 cal each and 13g of protein. A moderate amount of three cheeses gives it a rich flavor, while Italian seitan or meatless sausage increase the protein content. If you and your family are trying to master “Meatless Mondays”, this recipe will be make healthy eating feel special!
Never made (or eaten) yucca before? Yes its a bit ugly, covered in wax, and doesn’t fit in the little produce bags at the grocery store, but its an amazing root with a moist texture and light flavor. Drenching it in my tangy and fragrant mojo de ajo will have you hooked!
