    Toasted flavors from chickpeas and vegetables, especially zucchini and squash, make the dish delicious.

    And chickpeas roasted with some spices are tempting, and I never miss an opportunity to use them, such as in chickpea naan wraps. I usually have oven-baked veggies several times for our side dishes. However, I had never combined them with chickpeas for a single dish like this quinoa bowl before.

    Quinoa is accepted as a super grain or superfood worldwide. If you want to include quinoa into your diet, try this super bowl–you will love it. It is really….
