Ingredients
- 2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
Method
- 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat the chickpeas completely dry with a towel, rolling off any loose skins — any leftover surface moisture steams the chickpeas in the oven instead of letting them crisp.
- 2
Toss dried chickpeas with 2 tbsp olive oil, smoked paprika, and cumin.
- 3
Roast 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway, until deeply golden and crisp.
- 4
Toss greens with remaining olive oil and lemon juice.
- 5
Top with roasted chickpeas, avocado, and cherry tomatoes.
