Spicy Roasted Chickpeas with Italian Roasted Vegetables

Roasted chickpeas are super tasty and a great way to add in some crunchy Plant Based protein. This combination is outrageously delicious and so easy to prepare. For crispy chickpeas they need to cook on their own tray; everything can be done on one tray but it won’t be quite the same. If you don’t like fennel, but have never had it roasted, you don’t know what you’re missing… Seriously. Try this. You may just want to double the batch of chickpeas… One can for two people may be an appropriate serving but they’re so addictive you’ll want to eat a whole can to yourself.  It may not be surprising that this is made even more delectable if crumbled goat cheese is added to the veggies for the last 5 minutes of roasting.

Ingredient

  • 1 large fennel bulb
  • ½ large red onion, peeled
  • 5-10 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes
  • ¼ cup dry cured black olives
  • 2-4 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp fresh rosemary, roughly chopped
  • 1½ tsp salt
  • pepper, to taste

For the chickpeas:

  • 1 can chickpeas, drained & rinsed
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • ½ tsp finely chopped rosemary
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste (optional)
  • black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F. Line 2 baking trays with non-stick foil.
  • Remove stalks from the fennel; cut in half & trim away the tough center of the core. Cut into 8-12 wedges; try to keep some core intact on each piece so they hold together. Cut the onion in half; slice each half into 6-8 wedges, again trying to keep some of the core intact.
  • In a large bowl toss together fennel, onion, garlic, tomatoes, olives , olive oil & seasonings. Spread into a single layer on one of the lined baking trays. In the same bowl, toss together all the chickpea ingredients. Spread onto the remaining baking tray.
  • Bake for 30-50 minutes; time all depends on how cooked you want everything and how thick the veggies were sliced. Rotate the trays top to bottom several times during roasting. Swirl the chickpeas now and then to move them around.
  • Serve roasted veggies piled in the center of the plate & spoon over the crispy chickpeas. Enjoy!

New YouTube video just uploaded! On your feet at w New YouTube video just uploaded! On your feet at work? Need a restorative yoga flow to help unwind at the end of a long day? This video is for YOU! A huge dose of gratitude and respect for ALL the Frontline Workers who have been keeping us fed and healthy. Standing all day can lead to tension in the lower back, legs and mind... Give yourself 30-minutes to slow down and release resistance. Nurses, doctors, grocery store workers, chefs, cooks, dental hygienists, dentists and ANYONE else who is out there everyday keeping the world running, THANK YOU! Link in bio!!!
My walking buddy is cuter than yours... 😜 Mr. B My walking buddy is cuter than yours... 😜 Mr. B and I are killing this New Years Resolution! 30 minutes a day?! How about nearly 10km!!🏃🏻‍♂️Had a story that I couldn’t walk long distances for years because of my knee injury/surgeries. I lived into that story and while I walked B daily, it was never for more than 5-10 minutes at a time. This “habit” of waking up and walking him before my coffee has got me feeling better than I have in years; I won’t be letting this one go any time soon. AND he’s never been better on a leash in his nearly 6 years on the planet. ☺️ Also, now at 14 days totally sober from my vices. No refined sugar 🍩, weed 💨 or alcohol🍷 so far in 2021 and I couldn’t be happier about it. ✨
I’m a little late to the party here... 😂 I’ I’m a little late to the party here... 😂 I’ve known OF The 5 Love Languages for YEARS, but never actually read (listened to) the book. Totally 🤯 right now; halfway through the second listening. Making SO MUCH sense of how I experience love AND what went so terribly wrong in my 14 year relationship. I’m most definitely a “Words of Affirmation” kind of guy and that was something notably lacking from my previous partners. I’m also aware how many times MY genuine words of affirmation fell on deaf ears that didn’t know how to hear of believe them. When we know better, we do better. Read this book whether you’re in a relationship or not. If you read it years ago, I would say it’s worth a refresher. Life changing to say the least. ✨
Found the full version of this flow buried on my p Found the full version of this flow buried on my phone! Gang plank flow from the Mediterranean Sea in Turkey.

This Glitter Moose has been around for a couple Ch This Glitter Moose has been around for a couple Christmases and out since early December... I decided this year to keep it out year round (love sparkle, love moose, I’m gayer than Christmas, so why not?🤷🏻‍♂️) Today, for the first time ever, Mr. B decided he needed to keep an eye on it. After a solid 3-5 minutes of B trying to hop up and take him off the TV stand I brought it closer. Glitter Moose and B then had this stare down that lasted nearly 5 more minutes. He wouldn’t take his eyes off of it. Apparently Glitter Moose is a threat now.. What a goofball...
✨🤪🤣
Merry Christmas & Happy (early) Birthday to me!! 🤩 I ordered this at the beginning December... nearly 5 weeks later it arrived. My old MacBook Air literally sounds like it’s about to self destruct every time I edit or upload video. 😳This will be a welcome upgrade. Higher processor and more memory; not to mention the epic case that makes me feel like I’m in the woods. Now just to transfer all the things over to this one. So excited to try this beauty out.

One of my New Years resolutions is to walk Mr. B at least 45 minutes every day. It has ended up being well over an hour spread between 2-3 walks. I’m loving it. So is he. ✨

Just before the pandemic, I bought myself a one person medical grade infrared sauna. I had wanted one for years to help with inflammation and my overall state of health (there’s lots of evidence to the benefits) but my ex was always a firm “NO” to it. It was my gift to myself after working so hard to get our house ready for sale and increasing its value considerably. I had no idea how much I would appreciate having this through COVID. The heat alone is therapeutic and has kept my sweaty yoga studio withdrawals to a minimum. Didn’t expect to use the colour therapy lights that often but I’ve come to LOVE them as a way to deepen my meditation and focus on certain areas of my body. My heart has been needing some extra attention these last couple weeks. 2021 is all about self care for me.. If I’m not loving and accepting myself FULLY, how could I ever expect to attract love and affection from another? What can YOU do today to take a little bit better care of your body and mind? Great. Go DO IT!

My first “read” of 2021... I’m 40 minutes in My first “read” of 2021... I’m 40 minutes into the audio book and it’s already blowing my mind. I have a deep appreciation for the LGBTQ trailblazers who put their lives on the line to fight for our rights before I was born. I’m also old enough to have spent my youth hiding from my own sexuality and feeling terribly ashamed of it. To this day I still struggle to find my power in the presence of many straight men... no matter how kind or inclusive they may be. Remnants of being bullied for being a “faggot” through most of my time in school. We still live in a world that pushes back against a lot of what the LGBTQ community represents. I myself have spent years rooting out my own homophobia as a gay man (yes, straight people, gays can be homophobic too) and getting clear on what may have caused those biases to take hold. If you’re a gay man, this book will likely speak to your soul.. if you’re straight, it probably wouldn’t hurt to read it either. Thanks @leosaggio for the excellent recommendation.
