Instructions
Preheat oven to 425˚. Mist a baking sheet with oil spray and set aside.
Place chickpeas on paper towels and pat dry to remove any extra moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, add diced butternut squash, chickpeas, olive oil, and spice blend. Toss to evenly coat.
Spread everything on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the oven for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until some of the edges start to brown.
The vegetables will be tender and caramelized. The chickpeas will be golden, split open, and become crisp as they cool.
