Notes
To make this recipe low carb, omit the chickpeas and quinoa. Add an additional 8 cups of spinach to replace the quinoa (2 cups of spinach per bowl). This will reduce the total carbs from 51 grams, down to 19 grams and will reduce the net carbs down to 12 grams.
Feel free to mix up the veggies! Add more or less of one vegetable, or add another vegetable like summer squash or potatoes. Just make sure you have 7 total cups of diced vegetables.
