- While the chickpeas bake, place the veggies in a large mixing bowl and toss with extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. Place veggies in a grill pan then cook 5-8 minutes until tender.

Notes
- You can cook this meal prep any number of ways. Roast the veggies in the oven with the chickpeas or cook the chickpeas on the grill with the veggies. If roasting the veggies in the oven, it may take longer. I would set them to broil 8-10 minutes. Either method works!
