The crunch of roasted chickpeas paired with the caramelized edges of Brussels sprouts, all wrapped up in the earthy, herby goodness of za’atar seasoning—this recipe is nothing short of magical.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and thoroughly dried
  • 23 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons za’atar seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Optional toppings: crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, or a drizzle of tahini

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly. Spread them out on a clean kitchen towel and pat them dry.
  3. Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and slice each sprout in half lengthwise. Save any loose leaves for roasting.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, toss the chickpeas and Brussels sprouts with olive oil, za’atar seasoning, garlic powder, and salt until evenly coated.
  5. Arrange the seasoned chickpeas and Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Avoid overcrowding.
  6. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping everything halfway through to ensure even browning. The chickpeas should be crispy, and the Brussels sprouts should be golden and slightly charred around the edges.
  7. Once out of the oven, drizzle fresh lemon juice over the roasted chickpeas and Brussels sprouts.
  8. Optional: Add crumbled feta, chopped parsley, or drizzle with tahini for extra flavor.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
