Introduction

Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and chickpeas.

Playing with new flavors last night. Browsing in my cupboard, the idea of tonight’s dinner vegetable side dish was born.

I always have chickpeas in my pantry, and love them in my salad for lunch, and preparing them alongside Brussels sprouts and cauliflower was something I never thought of doing and why not??

Searching through my cookbooks, I found the idea of sautéing the chickpeas. I was different, I thought, curious about the flavor they would give out.

In the kitchen, I went, skillet out and ready to have fun.
Be very careful while sautéing the chickpeas as not to leave them unattended, as I did for 1 small minute: the chickpeas pop and I had a few that flew the coop.

Well!! was I surprised? Not only we really enjoyed the nuttiness of the chickpeas, the Brussels sprouts and cauliflower were delicious together.

Sautéing them, made them tender.

Roasting them sealed in the great flavor.
A fun winter side dish.
