Ingredients

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange), diced

1 medium cucumber, diced

1 cup kale, chopped (stems removed)

1 avocado, sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish

Juice of 1 lemon

Optional: feta cheese or tahini drizzle for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes:

    - Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

      - On a baking sheet, toss the diced potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer.

        - Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

          Cook the Chickpeas:

            - In a skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the rinsed chickpeas and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are slightly crispy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

              Prepare the Veggies:

                - While the potatoes and chickpeas are cooking, chop the kale, cucumber, and bell peppers. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

                  Assemble the Bowl:

                    - In a large bowl, combine the roasted potatoes, crispy chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, and kale. Drizzle with the lemon juice and toss gently to mix everything together.

                      Serve:

                        - Divide the veggie mixture among serving bowls. Top each bowl with sliced avocado and sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley. For an extra touch, add crumbled feta cheese or a drizzle of tahini if desired.

                          Enjoy:

                            - Serve immediately and savor the fresh flavors!
