Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 2 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, or kale)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion (optional)
  • 3 tbsp Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt for vegan option)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Drain and rinse chickpeas thoroughly. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and remove any loose skins.
  3. In a large bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Spread chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Roast chickpeas in the oven for 25-30 minutes, shaking or stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even crisping. Adjust temperature if browning too fast.
  6. Cook quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  7. Prepare veggies: halve cherry tomatoes, dice avocado, shred carrots, and chop red onion. Keep avocado for last to avoid browning.
  8. Whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  9. Assemble bowls by layering cooked quinoa or rice, mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, red onion, diced avocado, and top with crispy chickpeas.
  10. Drizzle dressing just before serving or pack separately if meal prepping. Toss lightly and enjoy.

Notes

Pat chickpeas dry thoroughly for maximum crispiness. Stir or shake chickpeas every 10 minutes during roasting to prevent burning. Reheat chickpeas in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore crispness. Store dressing separately when meal prepping to keep greens fresh.
