- Add the rinsed, dried chickpeas to a mixing bowl and top with oil, salt, cumin, paprika, and chili powder. Toss to combine (they should be very well coated). Then add to the other side of the baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes or until broccoli and chickpeas are browned.400 g chickpeas, 1 Tbsp avocado oil, ¼ tsp salt, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp chili powder
- In the meantime, add chopped kale to a serving bowl and top with lime, salt, chili powder, and maple syrup (trust us — we know it sounds weird).
