Ingredients
- 2 cups arugula or mixed greens
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas (canned or pre-cooked)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 soft-boiled egg (6–7 minutes for jammy yolk)
- 1 avocado, diced
- 5–6 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 5–6 green olives (pitted)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat dry the chickpeas and toss with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy.
- In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Gently add the egg and cook for 6-7 minutes. Transfer to ice water after cooking to stop the process before peeling.
- In a serving bowl, layer arugula or mixed greens at the bottom. Top with roasted chickpeas, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, green olives, and the soft-boiled egg sliced in half.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, garnish with fresh parsley and drizzle with olive oil or your favorite dressing if desired.
