Chickpea and Broccoli Curry Tips

Try adding different spices like minced garlic, ginger, or turmeric.

Boost the nutrition and the visual appeal by adding in additional veggies like diced carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, squash, peas, or spinach. You can also serve our Spicy Baked Kale Crisps to get in even more veggies!

Switch up the base by swapping out the white rice for quinoa or cauliflower rice.

Add 1-2 tablespoons of almond butter to step 4 to make this broccoli curry even more creamy.

Top your chickpea and broccoli curry with a squeeze of fresh lime and sliced green onions, parsley, cilantro, or your favorite microgreens. (Microgreens can be a good source of nutrition and are incredibly easy to grown at home!)
