Crispy Chickpeas
Prep
Preheat oven to 425°, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make
Place chickpeas in a bowl, or directly onto the baking sheet. Drizzle the oil over the chickpeas and toss.
Then sprinkle the remaining ingredients over the chickpeas and toss well to coat. Spread them evenly onto the baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes, or until crispy.
Dressing
Make the dressing: Place the sunflower seeds, garlic, nutritional yeast, capers, vegan Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, tamari, mustard, and pepper in a blender and add 1/3cup of water. Blend until creamy.
Using your clean hands, massage about half the dressing into the kale until it is tender. Add in the romaine and ensure it is coated with the dressing.
Top with crispy chickpeas and serve.
