Roasting vegetables and chickpeas with canola oil, balsamic vinegar, and Italian seasoning is not only delicious when served over your favourite whole-grain pasta, it’s nutritious as well. Garnish with crumbled feta or grated Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
- 2 bunches of broccoli, chopped into florets
- 1 can (19 oz./540 mL) chickpeas, rinsed and patted dry
- 1 cup (500 mL) cherry tomatoes (use red, orange and yellow, if possible)
- ¼ tsp (1 mL) pepper
- 2 tsp (10 mL) Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp (5 mL) garlic powder

- 4 tbsp (60 mL) canola oil, divided
- 1 bunch kale, stems removed, leaves torn
- Grated Parmesan cheese, crumbled feta for garnish (optional)
- ¼ cup (60 mL) fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200 °C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
