Rice Casserole With Chickpeas
Packed with broccoli, brown rice, chickpeas, and tomato, this colorful, nourishing casserole uses everyday ingredients you’re likely to have in your cupboard. To make it spicier: Just rev up the chili powder.
Broccoli and some pantry staples are all you need to make this comforting rice casserole, which has a subtly creamy texture thanks to a slurry of oat flour and plant milk. Dial up the chili powder and paprika if you like more heat. This recipe is gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free oats.
