Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, combine 2 cups drained and rinsed chickpeas, 2 peeled and sliced carrots, 1 large cut red bell pepper, 1 sliced zucchini, and 1 cut red onion.
2. Step 2: Drizzle 3 tbsp olive oil over the vegetables and chickpeas, then sprinkle 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
3. Step 3: Spread the mixture in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway, until vegetables are tender and chickpeas are slightly crispy at the edges.
4. Step 4: Remove from oven and sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Serve warm with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
