Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, thoroughly drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Zest from 1 lemon

Juice from 1 lemon, divided

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped

4 whole grain or spinach wraps

Mixed greens (such as arugula, spinach, or kale)

1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced

Hummus or tzatziki, for spreading

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Chickpeas: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and half of the lemon juice. Use a spoon or spatula to toss everything thoroughly, ensuring each chickpea is evenly coated in the flavorful mixture.

      Roast the Chickpeas: Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to promote even browning. The chickpeas should emerge crispy and golden brown.

        Make the Herb Dressing: In a small bowl, mix together the remaining lemon juice, chopped parsley, and chopped cilantro. Stir until well combined to create a fresh herb dressing.

          Assemble the Wraps: Take your whole grain or spinach wraps and lay them flat on a clean, dry surface. Generously spread a layer of hummus or tzatziki across each wrap, making sure to cover it evenly.

            Add Greens and Chickpeas: On top of the hummus, place a handful of mixed greens. Then, evenly distribute the roasted chickpeas over the greens. Follow with slices of avocado, arranging them neatly on each wrap.

              Drizzle the Dressing: Spoon a portion of the herb dressing over the chickpeas and greens to enhance the flavor of your wraps.

                Wrap It Up: Starting at one edge, tightly roll the wrap, ensuring to tuck in the sides as you go to keep all the filling secure.

                  Serve: Once rolled, slice the wraps in half diagonally for a better presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant and delicious flavors of your Lemon Herb Roasted Chickpea Wraps!
