Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Drain and rinse 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, then pat dry with a kitchen towel.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Spread the chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until chickpeas are crispy.
  4. Step 4: While chickpeas roast, dice 1 medium avocado and place in a large salad bowl with 4 cups mixed salad greens.
  5. Step 5: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 teaspoon honey until emulsified.
  6. Step 6: Add the warm roasted chickpeas to the salad and drizzle with the lemon dressing. Toss gently to combine and serve immediately for best texture.
