Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons harissa paste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra-virgin)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended; can substitute coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo, minced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice (cooled)
  • 2 cups mixed greens (baby spinach, arugula, or kale)
  • 1 roasted red bell pepper, sliced
  • ½ cucumber, thinly sliced
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional toppings: toasted pumpkin seeds or sliced almonds, feta cheese crumbles (omit for dairy-free), lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Drain and rinse chickpeas thoroughly. Pat dry with a kitchen towel or paper towels.
  3. In a mixing bowl, toss chickpeas with harissa paste, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
  4. Spread chickpeas evenly on the lined baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden and slightly crisp but tender inside.
  5. While chickpeas roast, whisk together Greek yogurt, minced chipotle pepper, lime juice, honey or maple syrup, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Cook quinoa or brown rice according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and let cool slightly.
  7. Wash and prep fresh veggies: slice roasted red bell pepper, cucumber, and red onion thinly. Chop cilantro or parsley for garnish.
  8. Assemble the bowl by layering quinoa or rice at the bottom, then mixed greens, followed by roasted red pepper, cucumber, and red onion.
  9. Top with roasted harissa chickpeas and drizzle chipotle-lime yogurt sauce over everything.
  10. Sprinkle optional toppings like toasted pumpkin seeds or feta cheese if desired. Serve immediately with a lemon wedge if preferred.

Notes

Dry chickpeas thoroughly before roasting for best crispiness. Toss chickpeas halfway through roasting for even cooking. Adjust harissa and chipotle amounts to control spice level. Store chickpeas and yogurt sauce separately for meal prep to maintain texture. Reheat chickpeas in oven to keep crisp.
