Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the dressing by whisking together garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, sea salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Aim for a smooth, emulsified consistency.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a large baking sheet with olive oil.
  3. Spread broccoli on one side of the baking sheet and chickpeas on the other. Season chickpeas with cumin, cinnamon, ginger, olive oil, sea salt, and pepper. Roast for 15–20 minutes.
  4. Check the broccoli. If it's done, remove it; if not, toss the chickpeas with red onion and return to the oven for another 5 minutes.
  5. In a large bowl, combine roasted broccoli, chickpeas, red onion, slivered almonds, vegan feta, Medjool dates, dill, and mint. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently.
  6. Serve garnished with lemon zest and extra lemon juice if desired. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
