Ingredients
  

2 medium beets, peeled and diced

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

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

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

4 cups fresh spinach or arugula

1 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

1/4 cup walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped

Balsamic glaze for drizzling (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Beets and Chickpeas: In a large bowl, combine diced beets and rinsed chickpeas. Drizzle with olive oil, honey, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.

      Roast: Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the beets are tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through.

        Prepare the Greens: While the beets and chickpeas are roasting, wash and dry the spinach or arugula, and place it in serving bowls.

          Assemble the Bowl: Once the beets and chickpeas are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Add the roasted mixture on top of the greens.

            Add Toppings: Top with sliced avocado, crumbled feta cheese (if using), and toasted walnuts for an extra crunch.

              Drizzle and Serve: Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for added flavor, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious power bowl!
