Chickpea scramble breakfast bowl with avocado

Start your day with a nutritious and delicious Chickpea Scramble Breakfast Bowl with Avocado. This healthy recipe is packed with protein from chickpeas, fresh greens, and the creaminess of avocado. Perfect for a filling breakfast or brunch option, it's both satisfying and easy to make.

Ingredients:

15 oz chickpeas
430g
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1.10g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
1/2 tsp black pepper
1.05g
1/4 onion
80g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 cups spinach
60g
1/4 cup fresh parsley
16g
1 tsp coriander leaves
1g
1 avocado
200g

Instructions:

1. Prep the Chickpeas:
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the chickpeas lightly. You want them to be partially mashed, with some whole chickpeas remaining for texture.
2. Cook the Onions and Garlic:
- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the finely chopped onions. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they turn translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.
3. Add Spices:
- Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine the spices with the onion and garlic mixture.
4. Scramble the Chickpeas:
- Add the mashed chickpeas to the skillet and stir to mix well with the seasoned onions and garlic. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are heated through and lightly browned.
5. Incorporate Spinach:
- Add the spinach to the skillet. Cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Finish with Fresh Herbs:
- Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and coriander leaves. Mix well and let it cook for another minute to let the flavors meld together.
7. Prepare the Avocado:
- While the chickpea scramble is finishing up, slice the avocado.
8. Assemble the Breakfast Bowl:
- Divide the chickpea scramble into serving bowls.
- Top each bowl with avocado slices.
9. Serve:
- Enjoy your Chickpea Scramble Breakfast Bowl with Avocado immediately while it's warm.

Tips:

- Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly to remove any excess salt if using canned chickpeas.

- When cooking the spinach, add it last as it wilts quickly and retains its vibrant green color.

- If you prefer a spicier scramble, consider adding a pinch of red chili flakes or hot sauce.

- Garnish with extra fresh parsley or coriander leaves for an added burst of flavor.

- Serve with whole grain toast or a side of fresh fruit for a well-rounded meal.

This Chickpea Scramble Breakfast Bowl with Avocado is a delightful way to start your day. Rich in nutrients and easy to prepare, it's a great alternative to traditional breakfast options.
