Ingredients
- 1 lb. (450 g) Brussels sprouts (about 4 cups/1 L), trimmed and halved
- 3 carrots, peeled and cut into ½" (1-cm) coins
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) Lemon Garlic Rub
- ¾ cup (175 mL) vegetable broth
- ½ cup (125 mL) white quinoa, rinsed
- 1 pkg (8 oz./250 g) plain hummus
- ¼ cup (60 mL) water
- 4 cups (1 L) arugula
- 1 can (15.5 oz./439 g) reduced-sodium chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- Optional: Sunflower seeds
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
Combine the Brussels sprouts, carrots, olive oil, and 1 tbsp (15 mL) of rub in a large bowl. Toss well to coat. Transfer to a large sheet pan and bake until browned, 24–26 minutes.
Combine the broth and quinoa in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, covered, for 10 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Combine the hummus, water, and remaining 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the rub. Stir until smooth.
Divide the arugula evenly into 4 bowls. Then add the vegetables, chickpeas, and quinoa to the bowls. Drizzle evenly with the hummus dressing. Sprinkle with sunflower seeds before serving, if you’d like.
