Ingredients for Crispy Saltbush Chickpea & Avocado Warm Bowl (4 Servings)

  • 1.25 lbs (or 2.5 cups) crispy roasted chickpeas, prepped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1.5 cups charred broccolini, washed and trimmed
  • 1 cup sliced avocado
  • 1 medium onion and 3 cloves garlic, finely minced with dried Australian saltbush
  • 1.5 tbsp traditional Australia seasoning (lemon juice, cold-pressed olive oil)
  • 2.5 tbsp traditional cooking oil, sea salt, cracked black pepper, and fresh citrus or herbs

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a wide heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Sauté onion, garlic, and dried Australian saltbush for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. Add crispy roasted chickpeas and charred broccolini along with lemon juice, cold-pressed olive oil, searing for 8–10 minutes while tossing occasionally.
  4. Deglaze the pan with a splash of broth or citrus so the caramelized fond coats every bite.
