2 15-oz can chickpeas, rinsed and tried
2 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoon each paprika, cumin, and garlic salt
2 teaspoons olive oil

2 cup sliced cherry tomatoes

-Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
-Rinse and dry chickpeas and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil and spices.
-Spread chickpeas on a baking sheet and roast at 400 for 20 – 25 minutes or until crispy. Shake a few times to prevent sticking and burning. Set aside.
-Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil. Add cauliflower rice and stir until it begins to soften. Add greens and tomatoes. Cook until the greens are slightly wilted. Take off heat and squeeze in lemon juice. Set aside.
-Divide cauliflower rice mixture between 2 bowls. Top bowls with crispy chickpeas. Garnish with fresh parsley, feta, hummus, and/or tzatziki.
