Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
  • 3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon honey
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅔ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ½ English cucumber, spiralized into noodles
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • ½ tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • ½ tablespoon fresh mint, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil, paprika, cayenne, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare pickled onions: In a small bowl, mix red wine vinegar, honey, and salt. Add sliced red onions and stir. Let sit for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Prepare the yogurt sauce: In another bowl, combine Greek yogurt, dill, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Once chickpeas are done, assemble bowls: Divide spiralized cucumber between two bowls. Top each with roasted chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, and pickled onions.
  6. Drizzle with yogurt sauce and garnish with parsley and mint. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Add avocado or crumbled feta for extra richness.
  • Use plant-based yogurt for a dairy-free or vegan version.
  • Switch up chickpea spices with curry powder, za’atar, or smoked paprika.
  • Add baby spinach or arugula for more greens.
  • Stir in quinoa or farro for added protein and texture.
  • Store components separately for best freshness. Re-crisp chickpeas in a skillet or under broiler if needed.
