Ever find yourself in a pinch for side dishes for dinner? Whether its a dinner for guests or weeknight dinner for the family sometimes the main dish comes a little easier than some sides to go with it! Well I head to my pantry and I've always got a can of chickpeas on hand and one of my favorite ways to eat them is roasted! And Brussel sprouts are totally having a moment at my house this season and I'm eating them any way I can get them! Toss those together with a little ranch seasoning and you've got yourself a lean, green side dish!
This could easily be turned into a full meal if you have some cooked quinoa and top it with the roasted veggies for a completely vegetarian dish or pair with 4-6 oz of your favorite lean protein such as grilled chicken or salmon!
Did I mention this is a one pan recipe? That means minimal dishes which means maximum family time! Throw it all on a foil lined pan and it makes clean-up a breeze! I'm already drooling over those little crispy bits of Brussel sprouts leaves that get a littttttttle over done. Yum. So let's get cooking!
