Ingredients
  

2 medium-sized beets, peeled and cubed

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, or kale)

1 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

1/4 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Balsamic vinaigrette (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven:

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

      Prepare Beets and Chickpeas:

        In a large bowl, combine the cubed beets and chickpeas. Drizzle with olive oil, honey, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is well coated.

          Roast:

            Spread the beet and chickpea mixture onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the beets are tender and lightly caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.

              Prepare the Greens:

                While the beets and chickpeas are roasting, rinse and dry your mixed greens. Place them in a large serving bowl or plate.

                  Assemble the Bowl:

                    Once the beets and chickpeas are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Top the mixed greens with the warm roasted mixture. Add sliced avocado, crumbled feta cheese (if using), and the toasted walnuts.

                      Finish and Serve:

                        Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy your nutrient-packed power bowl!
