To ensure your chickpeas are perfectly seasoned and bursting with flavor, start by selecting high-quality, dried chickpeas if you prefer the traditional soak-and-cook method, or use canned chickpeas for a quicker option. If you choose dried, soak the chickpeas overnight in plenty of water. The next day, drain and rinse them well, then boil in fresh water for about 1-1.5 hours until tender. If using canned chickpeas, simply drain and rinse them under cold water to reduce sodium content.

Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 medium zucchini, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 red onion, chopped

3 tablespoons olive oil

Zest and juice of 1 large lemon

2 teaspoons dried dill weed (or 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

    Prepare Chickpeas: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas with half of the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried dill, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chickpeas are evenly coated.

      Add Vegetables: To the chickpea mixture, add the zucchini, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the veggies and toss everything together until well mixed.

        Spread on Baking Sheet: Transfer the chickpea and vegetable mixture to the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out in an even layer.

          Roast in Oven: Place the sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chickpeas are crispy and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

            Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy warm as a wholesome meal or a delicious side dish!
