NOTES
This dish is full of colour and crunch from the roasted chickpeas and coconut. We find that doing a one pan meal like this where you mix a range of veggies together is so easy for lunch and then to have the leftovers for dinner or the next day. A splash of tamari gives a taste hit and brings something different. Pair this with some healthy fat from the avocado or salmon and then of course a bunch of leafy greens and you have a complete meal full of the key nutrients needed for skin and overall health.
