Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 medium zucchini, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 red onion, chopped into large chunks

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Zest and juice of 1 large lemon

2 teaspoons dried dill weed (or 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, roughly chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Chickpeas: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas with half of the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried dill, salt, and pepper. Stir well to ensure each chickpea is evenly coated in the flavorful mixture.

      Incorporate the Vegetables: Add the diced zucchini, red bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped red onion to the bowl with the chickpeas. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the vegetable medley. Gently toss everything together until all ingredients are well combined.

        Spread on the Baking Sheet: Carefully transfer the chickpea and vegetable mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Spread it out into a single layer to ensure even roasting.

          Roast in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring the mixture halfway through, until the chickpeas are crispy and golden brown, and the vegetables are tender with a hint of caramelization.

            Garnish and Serve: Once roasted to perfection, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Transfer the vibrant mixture to a serving bowl and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness. Enjoy this dish warm as a satisfying main course or a delightful side dish!
