For all the chickpea lovers out there, this yogurt parfait is the perfect way to start your day or enjoy as a healthy snack! With layers of creamy yogurt, ChiChi's chickpea oatmeal, honey-roasted chickpeas, and fresh nectarines, it’s a delightful combination of flavors and textures that’s both satisfying and nutritious.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup ChiChi chickpea oatmeal, cooked and cooled
1 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (or your favorite yogurt)
1/2 cup honey-roasted chickpeas (store-bought or homemade)
1 large nectarine, thinly sliced
Honey or maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients: If you haven’t done so already, cook the ChiChi Original chickpea oatmeal according to package instructions. Let it cool completely before using it in the parfait. If making homemade honey-roasted chickpeas, roast them until crispy and golden brown.
Start Layering: In two glasses or jars, begin by adding a spoonful of the cooled chickpea oatmeal as the first layer. Press it down gently to create an even base.
Add the Yogurt: Spoon a layer of Greek yogurt over the chickpea oatmeal, spreading it evenly.
Add the Honey-Roasted Chickpeas: Sprinkle a layer of honey-roasted chickpeas over the yogurt for a sweet and crunchy contrast.
Layer the Nectarines: Arrange a few slices of fresh nectarine on top of the chickpeas for a burst of juicy, fresh flavor.
Repeat: Continue layering the chickpea oatmeal, yogurt, honey-roasted chickpeas, and sliced nectarines until you’ve built up the parfait to your desired height. Aim for at least two layers of each for a beautiful and balanced parfait.
Finish with a Drizzle: For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle a little honey or maple syrup over the top layer.
Serve and Enjoy: Your Chickpea Lover Yogurt Parfait is now ready to enjoy! It’s best served immediately, so you can savor the crunchy chickpeas and fresh nectarines at their best.
Tips for the Perfect Parfait:
Make Ahead: You can prep the ingredients ahead of time and assemble the parfait just before eating. This way, the roasted chickpeas stay crunchy.
Customizable: Feel free to substitute the nectarines with your favorite seasonal fruit, such as peaches, berries, or plums.
Extra Protein: To boost the protein content, you can add a scoop of protein powder to the yogurt or mix it into the chickpea oatmeal.
