Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
  2. In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy.
  3. While the chickpeas are roasting, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. In the last 2 minutes, add the spinach to the pot to wilt.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, minced garlic, and salt until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed.
  5. Once the chickpeas are done, assemble the bowls by placing the noodles and spinach at the bottom, topping with roasted chickpeas, and drizzling with tahini sauce.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
