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

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  2. Pat chickpeas dry with a towel (this helps them get crispy).

  3. Toss chickpeas with olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.

  4. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.

  5. Roast for 20–25 minutes, shaking halfway through, until crispy.

  6. In a bowl, add greens, carrots, and cucumber.

  7. Top with warm crispy chickpeas.

  8. Drizzle with yogurt sauce and a squeeze of lemon if using.

  9. 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.
