Seasonings and Sauce

- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 1/2 cups hummus (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Arrange Vegetables and Chickpeas: Place all the prepared vegetables and cooked chickpeas on the tray in separate sections to allow even roasting and caramelization.
- Season and Oil: Drizzle olive oil evenly over the vegetables and chickpeas. Sprinkle paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper on top, then toss gently to coat all the pieces with the seasoning and oil.
- Roast: Roast the seasoned vegetables and chickpeas for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking. The vegetables should become tender and slightly caramelized.
- Prepare Hummus Base: While the vegetables roast, spread hummus in a swirl pattern in the center of a large serving bowl to create a creamy base.
- Assemble Bowl: Arrange the roasted vegetables and chickpeas around the hummus in the bowl for a colorful, inviting presentation.
- Garnish: Drizzle the lemon juice over the assembled bowl, then sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley to add freshness and a burst of flavor.
- Serve: Enjoy the bowl warm or at room temperature, perfect as a wholesome meal or a vibrant side dish.
Notes
- You can substitute any of the vegetables based on seasonal availability or preference.
- For added protein, consider adding grilled tofu or chicken if not vegetarian.
- Roasting time may vary slightly depending on your oven and the size of the vegetable pieces.
- Homemade hummus enhances freshness but store-bought works well for convenience.
- Adjust seasoning quantities to suit your taste, especially salt and spices.
