- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp minced fresh garlic
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Garnish after roasting
- Your Favorite flavored Balsamic vinegar I like the California Balsamic, Curry, Italian or Garlic. The lighter colored vinegars make a prettier presentation for this dish. You can use a plain white balsamic or regular balsamic vinegar.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees for convection oven, 425 degrees for a conventional oven.
- Using 2 rimmed baking sheets, line with parchment paper or use a silpat mat to prevent sticking.
- Prepare all the vegetables and put them in a large mixing bowl along with the chickpeas.
- Add the lemon juice and aquafaba if using - its optional. Add seasonings, feel free to adjust the vegetables and seasonings to suit your personal taste preferences.
- Divide vegetables evenly between the two prepared baking sheets.Roast for 40 minutes, stirring 2-3 times to prevent burning and for even roasting.
Notes
Recently I have been using the Curry Balsamic with cumin seeds and ground cumin. It's so flavorful. However I do love all the vinegar flavors. A simple plain balsamic vinegar is also delicious but it does change the color of the veggies. You can change the spices, try an Italian seasoning mix with a lemon balsamic or California Balsamic 7 herb Italian Balsamic. Herbs de Provence seasoning or Hestia from Local Spicery with a white balsamic. There are endless possibilities
Serving Suggestions:
Use as a main dish in a Nourish Bowl with greens, grains and mushrooms.
Enjoy as a side dish with lentil loaf or a veggie burger.
Add hot or cold to the top of a chopped salad.
Try different combinations of vegetables, seasonings and flavored vinegars.
