Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger (optional)
  • 2 tbsp warm water
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
  • ½ cup edamame, shelled and cooked
  • 2 green onions, sliced thinly
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Drain and rinse chickpeas, then pat dry thoroughly with a kitchen towel or paper towels.
  3. In a medium bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt until evenly coated.
  4. Spread chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden brown and crunchy. Watch closely in the last 5 minutes to avoid burning.
  5. Cook quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, maple syrup, soy sauce, grated ginger, and warm water until smooth and pourable. Add more water if needed.
  7. Prepare vegetables: shred cabbage, julienne carrot, slice green onions, and prepare edamame. Use a salad spinner to dry cabbage if available.
  8. Assemble the bowl by layering quinoa or rice, then cabbage, carrots, edamame, and green onions. Top with crispy chickpeas and drizzle generously with miso-sesame dressing.
  9. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley before serving.

Notes

Pat chickpeas very dry before roasting to ensure crispiness. Roast at high temperature and watch closely near the end to prevent burning. Whisk dressing just before serving for best flavor. Store crispy chickpeas separately to maintain crunch.
