Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans of beans (chickpeas, black beans, or kidney beans), drained and rinsed
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for roasting
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Paprika
  • Garlic powder
  • Dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley or cilantro
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil for dressing
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Wash and chop the zucchini, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and broccoli florets. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they’re tender and slightly caramelized.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, add the drained and rinsed beans. Once the veggies are roasted, let them cool slightly before adding them to the bowl.
  7. Pour the dressing over the beans and veggies. Toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
  8. Sprinkle the salad with fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and flavor. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
