Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F and grab two 8X8 baking dishes.
- To one baking dish, add all the chickpea ingredients and stir well using hands or a spoon.
- To the other baking dish, add all the ingredients for the tomatoes and stir to combine using hands or spoon.
- Bake both for 30 minutes. Removing both halfway through to stir and make sure neither are burning.
- In the meantime, prepare the Cashew Cream Cheese by adding the ingredients to a handmixer bowl, cup or jar and blend gently to combine.
- Once everything in the oven has baked, simply plate by starting with the cheese, then the chickpeas and pieces of tomato.* Top with microgreens, more salt, lemon juice, oil and enjoy with a fresh loaf of bread.
Notes
- When serving the tomato, be sure to not add much of the liquid but just enough (I suggest around 3 tbsp. of that oily, tomato goodness). You can save for any excess liquid for soups/salad dressings.
