Is there a substitute for the chickpeas?

Honestly, many different protein choices can work in place of the chickpeas. You can use tofu, soy curls, different beans or lentils can work as well as other vegan meat alternatives. Just note that the cooking time might vary and adjust as needed.

Can this be made in the air fryer?

To make this in the air fryer, I would recommend setting your air fryer to 375F and bake for 15-20 minutes. Please note, that all air fryer brands vary in terms of heat, so adjust based on your own specific air fryer and just check in between to make sure everything is cooked through.

What do I do with the extra herbs?

Whenever I have extra herbs, I love to mince them fine and place in an ice cube tray with some oil or water and freeze for later use. You can pop out one of these ice cubes and then use for meals, soups or stews to help add some additional flavor.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make sure to dry your chickpeas with a dry kitchen cloth to remove excess moisture. Then, add your chopped vegetables and chickpeas to the sheet pan.
In a small bowl combine the olive oil, ACV, garlic, basil, thyme, oregano, salt and nutritional yeast. Reserve a tablespoon of the fresh herbs and add the rest to the olive oil mixture. Mix everything well and then add to the vegetables.
With your hands, make sure to coat your chickpeas and vegetables really well with the marinade and top with lemon slices. Then place in the oven to bake for 20-23 minutes.
While the chickpeas bake, make the dressing by combining the remaining ingredients to the same small bowl and whisk well until creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of water to thin it out.
Assemble your bowl by pairing your baked veggies with some grains and topping with your dressing.

Notes

Make sure to dry your chickpeas well. You want to make sure you remove as much moisture from the surface by draining well and continuing to dry off excess moisture using a clean dish towel. This will also help to improve the texture of the chickpeas as they roast.

Evenly cut your vegetables. Regardless of the vegetables you choose, make sure they are as close to uniformly cut as possible. If you have big cut vegetables and some that are smaller, your ending sheet pan might not be evenly cooked.

You can save time with this sheet pan by using pre-cut vegetables and minced fresh herbs. Typically you can find these items in the refrigerated part of your produce section.
