Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, combine 12 oz halved cremini mushrooms, 1 can (15 oz) drained chickpeas, 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Toss thoroughly until every piece is coated and fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Spread the mushroom and chickpea mixture evenly on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until mushrooms are golden and edges of chickpeas are crispy.
  3. Step 3: Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle 1 tsp lemon zest and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the hot vegetables. Toss gently to combine and serve warm.
