Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup chickpea
  • 1 cup coconut milk unsweetened

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika spice
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric freshly grated
  • 1 teaspoon ginger freshly grated
  • 1 garlic clove minced and paste-like

Method
 

  1. Heat up coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped chunks of butternut squash and cook for 5-7 minutes stirring.
  2. Add in broccoli florets, salt, and pepper to taste and cook until florets become slightly soft. Stir in chickpeas, close the lid and let sit for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Transfer the veggies to a 9x13 inch baking dish or 2 small ones, sprinkle pumpkin seeds all over, and set aside. In the same pan, over medium heat, add a little bit of cooking or coconut oil, add in all the spices from the list and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Stir in the coconut milk, and simmer for 3 minutes under a closed lid. When ready, pour the coconut sauce over the veggies and bake for 25 minutes at 390 F.

Notes

  • For a non-vegan meal - sprinkle grated cheddar over veggies and bake until cheese is melted.
  • Don’t overcook squash while on the skillet, it is better to place them in the oven a little bit undercooked otherwise you’ll result in pureed butternut squash.
