Preparation for BBQ Chickpeas and Rice Veggie Bowl
- Turn the temperature on the oven to 370 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Prepare two baking sheets with rims by lining them with parchment paper.
- On the baking sheet, spread out the chickpeas as well as the broccoli, bell peppers, and onion. Toss to coat with olive oil, then season with salt & pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
- Place them in a single layer that is uniform in height. Roast the vegetables for twenty minutes, then stir them and switch the pans in the oven so that the one that was on top is now on the bottom.
- Continue roasting for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chickpeas have reached the desired crispiness and the vegetables have developed a charred appearance (they will continue to crisp up as they sit).
- Each of the four dishes should have a half cup of cooked rice added to it. The roasted vegetables, avocado, and cilantro should each receive an equal amount of each ingredient. BBQ sauce should be drizzled over the meat.
