Chickpea & Veggie Bowls (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
02 - 1/2 small red onion, chopped into small chunks
03 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
04 - 4-5 cups zucchini and/or eggplant (zucchini sliced, eggplant cubed)
05 - 1/3 cup kalamata olives, halved and pitted (if you like)
06 - 1/2 small red bell pepper, diced into bite-sized pieces

→ Spiced Chickpeas

07 - 1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne
08 - 1 can (15.5 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
09 - 1 teaspoon olive oil
10 - 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
11 - 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
12 - 1/2 teaspoon cumin

→ For Serving

13 - Quinoa or rice (optional)
14 - Green Tahini Sauce with herbs

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 425°F (218°C) and grab a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
02 - If you want them extra crispy, pat the chickpeas dry with a towel and get rid of any loose skins. Then mix them with the spices and olive oil.
03 - In the baking pan, coat veggies and olives in salt and olive oil. Move them to one side to make room for the chickpeas.
04 - Bake the chickpeas and veggies for 25-30 minutes, tossing them around halfway through. They're done when the chickpeas crisp up, and veggies are soft.
05 - Split the roasted chickpeas and veggies into bowls, with the grains if you’re using them. Finish it up with a drizzle of the tahini sauce.

# Notes:

01 - This is a hearty bowl filled with roasted veggies and spiced chickpeas, topped with herby tahini.
02 - Leftovers store in the fridge for 2-3 days if kept separate. Freezing isn’t recommended.
