Ingredients

  • Chickpeas - 1 can (400g), drained and rinsed
  • Carrots - 2 medium, diced
  • Frozen peas - 1 cup (150g)
  • Lentils - 1/2 cup (100g), dried
  • Fresh spinach - 2 cups (60g), chopped
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons (30ml)
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Paprika - 1 teaspoon
  • Cumin - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Vegetable broth - 1 cup (240ml)

Steps

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine diced carrots, chickpeas, olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
  3. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. While the vegetables are roasting, rinse the lentils under cold water and place them in a saucepan with vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until lentils are tender.
  5. In the last 5 minutes of cooking the lentils, add the frozen peas to the saucepan to heat through.
  6. Once the lentils and peas are cooked, stir in the chopped spinach and let it wilt for a minute.
  7. Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and add them to the lentil and spinach mixture, stirring gently to combine.
  8. Serve the roasted vegetable and chickpea bowl warm, garnished with additional spices if desired.
