Instructions
Step 1: Roast the Chickpeas
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the chickpeas dry with a paper towel. Removing excess moisture helps them get crispier.
- Toss the chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until they are golden and crispy. Set aside to cool.
Step 2: Prepare the Lemon Herb Tahini Dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, water, olive oil, and minced garlic.
- Stir in the chopped dill and parsley.
- Add the maple syrup (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed.
Step 3: Assemble the Bowl
- In a large serving bowl, start by adding a base layer of fresh spinach.
- Arrange the roasted chickpeas, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, shredded carrots, and sliced cucumber on top.
- Drizzle generously with the lemon herb tahini dressing.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the crispiness of the chickpeas.
