Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets, chopped
- 4 cups grape tomatoes, halved
- 4 cups red onion, diced
- 8 cloves garlic, skins on
- 2 cups water
- 3 cups chickpea flour
- 4 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp sage
- 1/2 tsp marjoram
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp rosemary
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spread the broccoli florets, tomatoes, red onion, and garlic cloves on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper and roast for 15 to 20 minutes until tender.
- Peel the roasted garlic cloves (being careful not to burn your fingers!) and place them into the blender along with the water, chickpea flour, lemon juice, poultry seasoning, and sea salt and blend until a smooth batter forms. Pour the batter into a large mixing bowl and stir in all of the roasted vegetables. Pour this mixture into a quiche dish or pan lined with parchment paper.
- Alternatively, you can divide the quiche batter into a standard 12-cup muffin pan lined with parchment baking cups and make individual mini quiches. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, opening the oven halfway through to release steam. The quiche is done when the top is browned and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove the quiche from the oven and allow to cool before serving.
Notes
STORAGE: This quiche freezes well, so make two and you’ll have one on hand for an easy grab-and-go meal anytime. Remove the parchment lining prior to freezing.
TIP: You can use a spice blend instead of purchasing individual spices
