It’s hard to make a bake that doesn’t require any eggs or cheese as a binder, but this lemony chickpea bake is completely vegan. In this delicious dish, tahini holds the bake together, which not only adds some flavor, but some protein as well. And, in addition to being incredibly flavorful and full of plant-based proteins, this dish is made in one pan, which makes cleanup a breeze. Also, if you’re looking to impress your guests, top this dish with a few basil leaves and a lemon slice to make it look as fancy as it tastes!
