Notes
- Swap vegetables based on seasonal availability or personal preference to keep the dish exciting and fresh.
- Pat chickpeas dry before roasting to ensure they get crispy and develop a nice golden exterior.
- Use a large baking sheet to prevent overcrowding, which can lead to steaming instead of roasting.
- Experiment with different spice blends like za’atar, curry powder, or herbs de Provence to change up the flavor profile.
