Ingredients
- 1 (15 oz.) can chickpeas, drained
- 1 yellow pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small zucchini, halved and thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Kosher salt
- fresh cracked pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place chickpeas, onion, and peppers in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
- Drizzle with olive oil.
- Sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, and a couple large pinches of salt and pepper.
- Toss to the coat the veggies and chickpeas evenly.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes. Then broil on high for 1-3 minutes to get a nice dark char on the edges of the veggies.
- Serve on flour tortillas with your favorite fajita toppings!
Notes
If chickpeas aren’t your jam, try another bean in its place or just add more veggies instead! If you try a different kind of bean (black bean, pinto bean, kidney bean, etc.), just be sure to watch them closely while they’re baking because they may dry out. That’s why I love chickpeas so much – they’re tough enough to handle all kinds of cooking methods including a quick roast in the oven! You could also just add another sliced pepper or more sliced onion in place of the chickpeas if you don’t have them on hand, or don’t want to use them.
To reheat leftovers, just add the veggies to a saute pan over medium to medium-high heat and add a splash of water. Cook, stirring frequently and adding more water as needed until everything is heated through. I also like to make a double batch of these vegetarian fajitas at the beginning of the week and then add them to Sheet Pan Quesadillas, Sheet Pan Nachos, or Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers too!
If you like your fajitas a little spicy, feel free to add a pinch or two of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mixture. That will give it a bit of a kick!
