Ingredients

1 tbsp - olive oil
½ - onion
4 cups - broccoli florets
1 can - chickpeas
1 ½ cups - basmati rice or long-grain white rice
3 cups - vegetable broth
¼ cup - nutritional yeast
1 tsp - sea salt
½ tsp - pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent. Add broccoli florets and sauté for 8-10 minutes. You don't want them to be totally soft and tender, just cooked down a bit. They will finish cooking in the oven. Add chickpeas and cook for 3-5 minutes.
Transfer to a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish (or similar sized baking dish). Add uncooked rice, veggie broth, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until rice is cooked and fluffy and broccoli is tender. Serve immediately and enjoy!
