Ingredients

  • 15 oz can chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 16 fresh sage leaves finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh oregano finely chopped (or 1 tsp. dried)
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh rosemary finely chopped (or 1 tsp. dried)
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 Tbsp. maple syrup
  • ½ cup dry millet
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup dry quinoa rinsed
  • 1 cup water
  • 15 oz canned pumpkin
  • 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp. full-fat coconut milk or soymilk
  • 1 tsp. lite salt or additional salt, to taste
  • pepitas shelled pumpkin seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the chickpeas, oil, herbs, salt and maple syrup.
  • When the oven reaches temperature, scatter across a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 350 F, stirring at 10 minutes.
  • Remove when 20 minutes is up and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, bring the millet and ½ cup water to boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes. Now add in the pumpkin and continue to cook on low for about 10 minutes, then remove from heat. The millet will still be slightly crunchy.
  • While the millet cooks, in another small saucepan bring the quinoa and 1 cup of water to boil over high heat. Once boiling, cover, reduce to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes. When the time is up, the water should all be gone. Fluff with a fork at set aside. The quinoa should be soft and fluffy.
  • Add the cooked quinoa, maple syrup, coconut milk and additional salt to the millet and pumpkin mixture and stir well to combine.
  • Serve warm with the roasted chickpeas (make sure to get all the crispy sage leaves too!) over the millet, quinoa, and pumpkin mixture. Garnish with additional fresh herbs and pepitas.
  • Now go celebrate Fall in all it's spiced, chilly splendor!
