This Roasted Chickpea Salad is not your typical everyday salad. Adding the crunchy roasted chickpeas will convert your boring green salad into crunchy, and tasty goodness.

How to roast the chickpeas?

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dry the chickpeas with a towel and spread them on the sheet. Roast for 25 -30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool. This is how easy it is to make roasted chickpeas for the roasted chickpea salad.

As you know we are full time traveling for almost two years now. (Wow! It’s amazing to say that out loud. )

We have an amazing Outdoor Pizza Oven – Halo Versa 16 – that I pretty much use for all kinds of baking, not just pizza baking. I absolutely LOVE my Versa 16. It’s the most versatile outdoor oven. So I roasted the chickpeas using the Versa 16 with the same method. The pizza oven heats up to a super high temperature so my baking time was less than 30 minutes.

Are any grains necessary for the Roasted Chickpea Salad bowl?

It is optional to add grains to this salad bowl. But I love to add grains to our meals. I almost ALWAYS have cooked rice in my fridge that I prepare a big batch of on the weekend and use during the week for making bowls or use as a side for meals.
