INGREDIENTS
INSTRUCTIONS
Canned chickpeas: 1 can (drained & dried)
Olive oil: 1–2 tablespoons
Paprika: 1/2 teaspoon
Cumin: 1/2 teaspoon
Salt: to taste
Black pepper: to taste
Greens (arugula, spinach, or mixed greens): 2 cups
Carrots: 1–2, shredded
Cucumber: 1/2, sliced
Yogurt sauce (or dressing of choice): 1/4 cup
Lemon juice (optional): small squeeze
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Pat chickpeas dry with a towel (this helps them get crispy).
Toss chickpeas with olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast for 20–25 minutes, shaking halfway through, until crispy.
In a bowl, add greens, carrots, and cucumber.
Top with warm crispy chickpeas.
Drizzle with yogurt sauce and a squeeze of lemon if using.
Toss lightly or serve as is.
NOTES
Dry chickpeas well—this is key for crispiness.
Don’t overcrowd the pan or they’ll steam instead of roast.
Eat chickpeas fresh for best crunch.
Swap veggies based on what you have.
Add avocado or feta for extra richness.
