Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss 1.5 cups drained chickpeas, 1 cup diced zucchini, and 1/2 cup sliced red bell pepper with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp minced garlic, and 1/2 tsp salt on a baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes until chickpeas are golden and vegetables are tender.

  3. Step 3: Toss 3 cups baby spinach with the roasted vegetable-chickpea mixture until coated. Transfer to plates, drizzle with remaining dressing, and top with 1/4 cup crumbled feta and 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts. Serve immediately while warm.
