Ingredients

Scale

For the Roasted Chickpeas:

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Roasted Vegetables:

  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Salad:

  • 5 oz mixed greens or arugula
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 2–3 tablespoons water (to thin dressing)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare the chickpeas: Spread the chickpeas on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
  3. Roast the vegetables: On a separate baking sheet, arrange the sweet potato, zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion. Drizzle with remaining olive oil, season with salt and pepper, then roast both trays for 25–30 minutes until tender.
  4. Make the dressing: In a bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, and water until smooth.
  5. Assemble the salad: Layer greens in a bowl, top with roasted veggies, crispy chickpeas, feta, and parsley. Drizzle with tahini dressing before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute any seasonal vegetables for variety.
  • For a vegan version, omit the feta cheese.
  • Serve the salad warm or at room temperature.
