Ingredients

Roasted Chickpeas

15 ounces canned chickpeas rinsed and drained
2 teaspoons avocado oil
2 1/2 teaspoons Mexican seasoning blend or to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste

Savory Yogurt Parfait

1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 cup baby spinach chopped
5 ounces Spicy Roasted Chickpeas
3/4 cup cherry or grape tomatoes sliced
1 tablespoon kalamata olives chopped

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F, and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Combine chickpeas with oil, Mexican seasoning and salt in a bowl, and combine well until all chickpeas are coated with oil and seasoning. Spread chickpeas on aluminum foil, and place in oven to bake for 15 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven and carefully toss chickpeas with a spatula. Return to oven to bake for another 10-15 minutes, then remove from oven and allow to cool before eating.
Combine yogurt and spinach in a mixing bowl, slice tomatos, and chop olives.
To serve: Place yogurt mixture in a bowl, or "to-go" container or jar. Top with roasted chickpeas, tomatoes and olives.

Notes

You can roast the chickpeas ahead of time and store them in an airtight container.
If you don't have Manzanillo Mexican seasoning, use a blend of oregano, black pepper, chili powders (ancho, pasilla, and chipotle), cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and coriander) or use your own favorite spicy seasoning blend.
For a vegan version, use your favorite plain non-dairy yogurt.
