Instructions

Potatoes/Chickpeas

  • Preheat oven to 380°
  • Cut and wedge four washed brown russet potatoes.  Each potato should yield 12 wedges. Do not peel 
  • Soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes. You can prepare bruschetta sauce while potatoes are soaking. 
  • After the potatoes have soaked, rinse and pat dry.  Return to a medium/large sized bowl. 
  • Open can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans).  Drain but reserve some of the liquid. Add to the bowl of potatoes.
  • Dice 1/2 red bell pepper and add to the bowl.
  • Add all other ingredients (vinegar, agave, Italian seasoning, onion and garlic powders, salt, nutritional yeast, aquafaba - liquid from can) and stir to coat well. 
  • Turn onto a lined baking sheet and bake at 380° for about 40 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.  Open the oven and turn potatoes about half way through. 

Bruschetta Sauce

  • Cut grape/cherry tomatoes in half and set aside. 
  • Stack washed basil leaves together slice thinly.  Set aside.
  • Chop four cloves of garlic and add to a sauté pan along with the dehydrated diced onion.
  • Line the pan with about 1/2 cup vegetable broth and sauté for about 3-5 minuets or until onion is rehydrated and garlic has softened.  Watch your pan carefully and add more broth is necessary to keep garlic from sticking.
