Ingredients

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup Parmesan cheese, shaved

¼ cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Pat the chickpeas dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, then place them in a bowl.

Drizzle the olive oil over the chickpeas and sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

Spread the seasoned chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.

While the chickpeas are roasting, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce and cherry tomatoes.

Add the roasted chickpeas to the salad bowl.

Drizzle with Caesar dressing and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.

Top the salad with shaved Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for garnish.

Serve immediately for the best texture.
