- 1 cup baby potatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas
Seasonings and Garnish

- 1/2 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 1/2 cups hummus (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Arrange the vegetables: Place all the prepared vegetables and chickpeas on the baking tray in separate sections so they roast evenly.

- Roast the vegetables: Place the tray in the oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes. Stir the vegetables halfway through cooking to ensure even caramelization and tenderness.
- Prepare the bowl: While the vegetables roast, swirl 1 1/2 cups of hummus in the center of a large serving bowl to create a creamy base.
- Assemble the bowl: Once the vegetables are roasted and tender, arrange them around the hummus in the bowl for a vibrant and appealing presentation.
- Add finishing touches: Drizzle 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice over the assembled bowl and garnish with 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh parsley for added freshness and color.
- Serve: Enjoy the roasted veggie and hummus bowl warm or at room temperature, making it a versatile and wholesome meal choice.
