Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Chickpeas - Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse and drain 1 can of chickpeas. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. Step 2: Season and Roast - Toss the chickpeas with your favorite spices. A combination of smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt works wonderfully. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through.
  3. Step 3: Chop the Vegetables - While the chickpeas are roasting, wash and chop your vegetables. Slice the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, chop the cucumber, grate or thinly slice the carrots, and halve the grape tomatoes. Thinly slice the red onion if using.
  4. Step 4: Make the Hummus - Prepare your Oil-Free Hummus using chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and water until smooth.
  5. Step 5: Assemble the Salad - In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine, cucumber, carrots, grape tomatoes, and red onion. Add in the crispy roasted chickpeas and drizzle with balsamic vinegar or Maple Balsamic Dressing.
  6. Step 6: Toss and Serve - Add the hummus to the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
