1
Preheat your oven to 375°. In an oven safe skillet on medium heat, add your oil and onions. Cook until soft then add your garlic and zucchini for about 5-7 minutes until the zucchini coins begin to brown. Then add your spinach and chickpeas, stir until spinach is wilted and bright green.

Once the veggies are cooked, add your marinara to the skillet and stir through, season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat. Cover the top of your skillet with the mozzarella cheese and place in the oven for 10-15 minutes until golden and bubbling.

Notes: Feel free to use whatever veggies you have on hand, I suggest eggplant, mushrooms or frozen cauliflower florets. Just keep in mind that cooking times may vary depending on the vegetables you choose. you may opt to make this dish dairy free by substituting the mozzarella for your favorite non-dairy alternative. I suggest increasing your serving size to 1.5 cups of non-dairy cheese to get the same effect.
