Crispy Chickpea & Avocado Bowl

Patting the chickpeas completely dry before roasting is the difference between shatteringly crisp and just soft and steamed.

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. 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. 2

    Toss dried chickpeas with 2 tbsp olive oil, smoked paprika, and cumin.

  3. 3

    Roast 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway, until deeply golden and crisp.

  4. 4

    Toss greens with remaining olive oil and lemon juice.

  5. 5

    Top with roasted chickpeas, avocado, and cherry tomatoes.
