Notes

Dry the chickpeas thoroughly before roasting to ensure they become perfectly crispy and golden. If you're making this salad for meal prep, store the dressing separately until you're ready to eat to keep the vegetables fresh and crisp. For the best texture, add the roasted chickpeas just before serving so they maintain their crunch. You can also easily customize the bowl by using your favorite vegetables, making it a versatile recipe that can be adapted to your tastes and whatever produce you have on hand.
