- Spread the seasoned chickpeas on a small baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast the chickpeas for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until slightly crispy.

Notes
- Feel free to swap kale for spinach or use roasted sweet potatoes instead of fresh vegetables.
- If you prefer a quicker option, you can pan-fry the seasoned chickpeas instead of roasting.
- Adjust the amount of BBQ sauce based on your preference for sweetness and tang.
- This bowl tastes great served warm or cold the next day.
