If somebody informed me that I’d make a dish containing zucchini and chickpeas that I couldn’t cease consuming, I’d in all probability argue with them. Zucchini is okay roasted or grilled, but it surely isn’t probably the most thrilling vegetable, and I’ve by no means been keen on chickpeas. This recipe roasts the chopped zucchini after tossing it in olive oil with spices till it’s barely charred. The chickpeas are additionally roasted till crispy including an addictive texture to the dish. Toss in some chopped creamy avocado, high the dish with chopped pistachios, recent parsley, and lemon zest, and also you’ve given zucchini a scrumptious brightness.
This dish doesn’t really want a dressing, however I added a squeeze of recent lemon, a drizzle of additional virgin olive oil, and a few cracked black pepper. Although tasty as it’s, I prefer to spoon my roasted greens onto a mattress of one thing creamy. Whether or not you select hummus, whipped ricotta, whipped feta, or tzatziki, as I did with the dish, it simply elevates the dish and creates an additional layer of taste.
Buon Appetito!
