Try customizing this easy side dish recipe with your favorite vegetables. Try using veggies that stand up well to roasting, like cauliflower, parsnips, turnips, or broccoli. You can also substitute another type of bean for the chickpeas but our Test Kitchen prefers their flavor and texture in this recipe. For the best flavor, rinse the canned chickpeas well to remove any excess salt found in the canned liquid. To rinse canned beans, pour the beans into a colander and rinse them until the water runs clear. Pat the chickpeas dry to help ensure they crisp up during the baking process. Toss them on the pan with the vegetables and be sure to stir the mixture twice during cooking to help prevent burning and sticking. To assemble this vegetable side dish recipe, mix the spices, salt, sugar, and oil together before baking the vegetables. This helps the mixture get evenly distributed among the potatoes and vegetables. Don't be concerned about adding sugar to the vegetables. Just a teaspoon of brown sugar in the spice mix helps amplify the natural sweetness of the vegetables that's brought out during the roasting process. This easy roasted vegetable recipe makes great leftovers for meal prepping or using in other recipes. Try adding extra roasted veggies to your next grain bowl, frittata, or salad. You can even warm them up in the oven and serve them alongside chicken, fish, tofu, or steak. Store them in a labeled container in the fridge for up to five days and reheat portions when you'd like to eat them.
