The Only Casserole Recipe You Need This Fall
Written by: Kat Gal
Though I am an all-around summer girl, there is one thing I love about fall: the changing of the colors. Sitting here admiring the reds, the yellows, the oranges and even the browns, I feel inspired and somehow peaceful.
With the changing of the seasons, the colder weather is approaching too. We have turned back our clocks, making it feel like nighttime comes so early. The darkness and the cold calls for some warmer, more comforting and hearty dishes to help make you feel cozy and warm. Casseroles are excellent choices for the fall and winter time.
This super healthy chickpea and vegetable casserole is the best thing on the planet. You can even serve it at Thanksgiving; people will love it so much that they won’t even complain that it’s not turkey, mashed potatoes or pumpkin.
Chickpeas, or otherwise known as garbanzo beans, are excellent sources of protein – a great choice for vegans, vegetarians and also meat-eaters. They are also high in manganese, folate and fiber.
Kale and spinach are full of antioxidants, vitamin A, vitamin C and iron. They are anti-inflammatory, alkaline and great for a gentle detox.
Bell peppers contain plenty of vitamin C, vitamin A, carotenoids, phytochemicals and sulfur, making them not only delicious, but nutritious as well.
The best part about this casserole is not its health benefits though, but its mouth-watering taste. So what are you waiting for? Give it a go!
