Directions

30 min.
1. Step

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). It is important to heat your oven first to ensure the chickpeas roast evenly.

2. Step

Meanwhile, mix the chickpeas with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika in a bowl. Make sure every chickpea is coated well to maximize flavor.

3. Step

Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-30 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Be sure to shake the pan halfway through for even roasting.

4. Step

While the chickpeas are roasting, prepare your salad greens. Mix the greens, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, avocado and parsley in a large salad bowl.

5. Step

To make the dressing, simply whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the sweetness or tanginess as you like.

6. Step

Once the chickpeas are done, let them slightly cool before adding to the salad.

7. Step

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss well to combine.

8. Step

Serve immediately or refrigerate for later use. But I would recommend serving it immediately to maintain the crunchiness of the roasted chickpeas.
