  3. In a large bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until thoroughly coated.
Roasting the Chickpeas
  1. Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until crispy and golden. Toss halfway through to ensure even cooking.

  2. Once the chickpeas are roasted, add them directly to the bowl with the veggies.
  3. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salad and toss all ingredients together gently until well combined.
  4. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top before serving.
Serving

Notes

For substitutions, consider trying basil or mint for added freshness. Ensure to dry your chickpeas well before roasting to achieve the desired crunch. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, adding fresh veggies and dressing just before serving to avoid sogginess.
