One-Pan Crunchy Chickpea Pesto Potato & Brussels Sprouts
One-pan bakes are some of the best ways to be resourceful and sustainable in the way you eat, using up whatever is left in the fridge and pantry. We usually have starchy staples like potato or sweet potato in the vegie box, plenty of legumes in the cupboard, bits and pieces of herbs needing to be used or blitzed into a pesto and a great selection of condiments like olives, capers, sauerkraut etc, which all bring a meal like this to life. You can swap potatoes for sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts for cabbage, chickpeas for cannellini beans, cheese for nutritional yeast in the recipe — and still have a scrumptious one-tray meal ready without too much effort and maximum nutrition.
