Roasted Chickpeas with Broccoli may be my newest obsession! It’s warm, delicious, and comforting. The big squeeze of fresh lemon juice is the perfect compliment to the roasted veggies! It can easily be served as a side dish or a main course. 
I like to serve Roasted Chickpeas with Broccoli with some grilled chicken, but you can also enjoy it as a main course. Either way, make sure to make plenty, because the leftovers are delicious for a quick and easy lunch the next day.
You simply need to rinse the beans and veggies, slice the onion, and cut the broccoli into florets. Using a paper towel or clean kitchen towel, pat the chickpeas and veggies dry before adding the olive oil and seasonings. The wetter they are, the more they will steam and not roast.
About half way through baking I gave it all a good stir and topped with crumbled feta cheese. Continue roasting until onions are translucent, tomatoes begin to blister and pop, and broccoli is tender and begins to brown. If you prefer you can leave it in another 5-10 minutes for a “crispier” broccoli.
Once it’s done cooking, give it a BIG squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Serve with additional lemon wedges and red pepper flakes if desired.
