Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).

4. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
5. While the potatoes are baking, prepare the toppings by combining the chickpeas, grated cheese, chopped green onions, chopped red bell pepper, chopped cucumber, corn, paprika, and lemon juice in a mixing bowl.
6. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
