Ingredients
- 15 oz can of chickpeas
- 1 TBSP avocado oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4-1/3 cup barbecue sauce
- 1-2 ears fresh corn or 1-2 cups steamed corn
- 5 oz bag of salad greens
- 1-2 cup chopped tomatoes cherry, grape, roma
- plus all your favorite extras see list in notes
- 4-8 TBSP ranch dressing to taste (vegan or regular)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Drain the chickpeas in a colander or sieve and rinse well. Pat the chickpeas very dry with a clean dishtowel or paper towels.
- Toss chickpeas with oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil or parchment for easy clean-up.
- Roast on the center rack for 20-25 minutes until crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Toss with warmed barbecue sauce before serving and mix until coated. Taste-test and adjust seasoning to taste. I usually end up scarfing a few spoonfulls of saucy chickpeas at this point, oops!
- While your chickpeas roast, cook corn via your favorite method (I boiled my ears of corn but grilling works great too!) and use a knife to remove the kernals. Frozen corn may also be used here. Simply steam or sauté.
- Use this roasting time to prep your salad greens and chop your tomatoes and any other veggies you'd like to add to this salad.
- Ready to eat? Pour your saucy and scrumptious chickpeas over the salad, add a drizzle or so of ranch dressing, and dig in!
