A quick recipe that will satisfy your taste buds and fill your stomach up with love. I love making this recipe on busy days, I can just put the potatoes in the oven and then get back to work/errands. You don't have to toast the chickpeas, but it adds a nice crunch.

Feel free to get creative with this recipe and let me know what kind of creations you come up with!
