Ingredients

Scale

For the Chickpeas

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

For the Bowl

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • ½ cup steamed broccoli florets
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • ¼ cup diced cucumber
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
  • Optional drizzle: extra honey or soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Toss Chickpeas: In a medium bowl, combine the drained and dried chickpeas with olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the chickpeas.
  3. Roast Chickpeas: Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through cooking to ensure they roast evenly and become crispy and golden brown.
  4. Make Honey Garlic Glaze: While the chickpeas are roasting, whisk together the honey and soy sauce in a small bowl until well combined.
  5. Glaze Chickpeas: Once the chickpeas are done roasting and still warm, transfer them back to the bowl and toss with the honey garlic mixture to coat them evenly.
  6. Assemble the Bowl: Place cooked quinoa or brown rice in serving bowls as the base. Top with the honey garlic roasted chickpeas, steamed broccoli florets, shredded carrots, diced cucumber, and chopped green onions.
  7. Add Final Touches: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the bowls and drizzle extra honey or soy sauce for added flavor if desired.
  8. Serve: Serve the bowls immediately while the chickpeas remain crispy and enjoy a balanced, flavorful meal.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • You can use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
  • Roast chickpeas until crispy but not burnt for the best texture.
  • Feel free to swap quinoa or brown rice with your preferred grain, like couscous or farro.
  • Adding fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley can enhance freshness and flavor.
  • Leftover roasted chickpeas can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days, but they may lose crispiness.
