A healthy and flavorful Roasted Chickpea and Veggie Bowl featuring crispy chickpeas, mixed bell peppers, and zucchini, seasoned with garlic and paprika, perfect for a quick and nutritious meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Chickpeas

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained

Vegetables

  • 1 cup mixed bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds

Seasonings and Oil

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the chickpeas: Rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  3. Chop the vegetables: Chop the bell peppers into bite-sized pieces and slice the zucchini into rounds, ensuring even sizing for uniform roasting.
  4. Combine and season: Spread the chickpeas, chopped bell peppers, and zucchini evenly on the baking sheet. Drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper over the mixture. Toss gently with your hands or a spatula to coat everything evenly.
  5. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy, and the vegetables are tender.
  6. Serve: Serve the roasted chickpeas and veggies hot. Optional toppings include sliced avocado or a drizzle of tahini sauce for added creaminess and flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure to pat the chickpeas dry to ensure they roast crispy rather than soggy.
  • You can customize the vegetables with your favorite seasonal produce.
  • For added protein, consider topping with feta cheese or a sprinkle of nuts.
  • This dish is perfect for meal prep and stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust seasoning according to your taste preference; add a pinch of cayenne for some heat.
