Vegan Alfredo Sauce

2 clove(s) Garlic (minced)
1 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional)
1 cup Potato (boiled with skin on)
1/4 tsp Nutritional yeast
2 tbsp Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Miso paste
2 tsp Tahini
1 pinch Himalayan sea salt (optional)

Instructions


  1. Preheat oven to 425F and line a baking pan with foil.
  2. Place the rinsed and dried chickpeas in a bowl with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, and mix well.  Spread on the foil-lined pan and roast for 20 minutes.
  3. While the chickpeas start roasting, chop the vegetables and then add to the chickpea pan for the last 10 minutes of roasting.
  4. Wash and chop the kale, then drizzle with a little lemon juice.  Place in your bowl or plate.
  5. Place the roasted chickpeas and vegetables on top of the kale and top with the tahini maple dressing.

Instructions for "Vegan Alfredo Sauce"

  1. Blend all the sauce ingredients to make a thick puree. Add just a little water if needed







Notes:

Massaging your kale and drizzling it with lemon juice prior to eating it will help to break down the fibre and soften it, making it taste less bitter and easier to digest.  The vitamin C in the lemon juice also helps you absorb more iron form the kale.
