Chef's Tips

For extra crunch, roast the chickpeas for an additional five minutes or until they reach your preferred level of crispness. If the dressing becomes too thick, add water one teaspoon at a time until it reaches the desired texture.
↔

Easy Substitutions

You can replace the spinach with massaged kale for a heartier green base. If you prefer a different legume, roasted white beans make a great substitute for chickpeas.
▱

Storage & Reheating

Store the roasted components and dressing separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to four days. Assemble the bowls fresh each time to keep the spinach from wilting.
