Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Drain and thoroughly pat dry a can of chickpeas.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with avocado oil, chili powder, cumin, and sea salt, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned chickpeas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 20 minutes, shaking halfway through.
  4. In a large salad bowl, layer chopped spinach, sliced grape tomatoes, sweet corn, diced cucumbers, chopped walnuts, and sunflower seeds.
  5. Whisk together tahini, lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt in a small mixing bowl until smooth.
  6. Once the chickpeas are roasted, let them cool slightly, then add them to the salad bowl, drizzle with tahini dressing, and toss gently to combine.
