Ingredients

Organic Chickpeas: Roasted to perfection to provide a nice crunch, as well as plant protein + fiber.
Organic Japanese Sweet Potato: I personally leave the skin on, because it adds extra fiber. Just be sure to scrub well before chopping.
Organic Baby Bella Mushrooms: For some extra heartiness & nutrition.
Organic Yellow Onion: I used yellow, but use what you’ve got on hand.
Organic Bell Peppers: The combination of green & red is what I used, but any color combo works.
Organic Cauliflower Florets: Fresh or frozen.
Organic Spices: Keeping it simple with some Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, sea salt, & black pepper.
Organic Avocado Oil: This is my favorite oil to use while baking, because it can withstand high heat temperatures.

How To Make

Sheet Pan. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Add the drained chickpeas & chopped vegetables to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Toss with the oil & spices. Arrange in a single layer & bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway.
