Ingredients

  • 1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added chickpeas, rinsed

  • 8 ounces multicolored baby carrots with tops, trimmed and peeled

  • 2 bunches spring onions, tops removed and bulbs halved lengthwise

  • 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • ¼ teaspoon salt, divided

  • 8 ounces asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon honey

  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Directions

  1. Place a large rimmed baking sheet on middle rack of oven; preheat to 400 degrees F. Line another baking sheet with paper towels. Spread chickpeas on the paper towels; rub with more paper towels to remove skins; discard skins.

  2. Transfer the chickpeas to a large bowl. Add carrots, spring onions, 3 tablespoons oil and 1/8 teaspoon salt; toss to coat. Spread in an even layer on the hot baking sheet. Roast until the vegetables are golden brown and tender, about 30 minutes, tossing halfway through and adding asparagus during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Sprinkle Parmesan evenly over the vegetable mixture and continue roasting until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, whisk vinegar, honey, mustard, pepper and the remaining 3 tablespoons oil and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Drizzle the balsamic dressing over the vegetable mixture; sprinkle with thyme leaves. Serve immediately.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
