Ingredients
For the Buffalo Chickpeas
- 2 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons Ghee
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ½ cup hot sauce
For the Ranch Dressing:
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 clove garlic
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp sea salt
For Assembling the Bowl:
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 2 cups mixed greens
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized sauce pan, heat the ghee, garlic powder, onion powder and salt over medium heat until combined, about 1 minute. Add ¼ cup of the hot sauce and stir to combine. Pour the drained and rinsed chickpeas into the pan and toss to coat.
- Spread the chickpeas on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer. Roast until the liquid is absorbed and the chickpeas are still tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and toss with the remaining ¼ cup of the hot sauce.
- While the chickpeas are cooking, make the quinoa according to the package instructions.
- Next, cut your veggies and set aside.
- Last, make your ranch. Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix or use a blender until smooth and creamy.
- To assemble the bowls: Place ½ cup quinoa in each of the four bowls along with ½ cup mixed greens, carrots, celery and avocado. Divide buffalo chickpeas evenly between the bowls and drizzle with ranch dressing.
