Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  5. Roast for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
  7. Add the crispy roasted chickpeas to the salad.
  8. Drizzle with lemon vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and healthy meal!

Notes

  • For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chickpeas before roasting.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots to your salad.
  • The chickpeas can be roasted ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for a few days.
