This roasted chickpea and edamame salad is not only incredibly easy to make but also packed with protein and fiber, making it the perfect guilt-free snack for any time of day.

Ingredients:

• 1 can of canned chickpeas (240g, drained)
• 1 cup of frozen edamame (120g)
• 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes (150g)
• 1 diced bell pepper (120g)
• 1/4 cup of thinly sliced red onion (30g)
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil (30ml)
• 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice (15ml)
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder (5g)
• 1 teaspoon of paprika (5g)
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt (3g)
• 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper (2g)

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• mixing bowl
• measuring spoons
• knife
• cutting board

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, frozen edamame, halved cherry tomatoes, diced bell pepper, and sliced red onion. Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the mixture, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until well combined.

Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chickpeas and edamame are crispy and golden brown. Make sure to toss the mixture halfway through the cooking time for even browning.

Once the salad is roasted to perfection, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish is simply irresistible – the crispy chickpeas and edamame pair perfectly with the juicy cherry tomatoes and crunchy bell pepper.

This roasted chickpea and edamame salad weighs approximately 700g when cooked, making about 4 servings. Each serving is around 175g and contains approximately 200 calories.
