Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- In a bowl, combine sliced carrots and halved Brussels sprouts. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and caramelized.
- While the vegetables roast, prepare the pickling liquid by combining white vinegar, water, sugar, salt, smashed garlic, and black peppercorns in a small saucepan. Heat over medium until the sugar and salt dissolve.
- Remove from heat and add the chickpeas to the pickling liquid. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Once the vegetables are roasted and the chickpeas are pickled, assemble the salad by combining the roasted vegetables and pickled chickpeas in a large bowl.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, toss gently, and serve immediately.
