Roast the chickpeas & squash
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas; pat dry.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chickpeas, squash, a drizzle of oil, ⅔ of the salsa verde, ¾ of the spices and S&P.
- Arrange on a lined sheet pan and roast, stirring halfway, 14 to 16 min., until the squash is tender and the chickpeas are beginning to brown.
Mise en place
