Recipe yields 8 servings
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread chickpeas on kitchen towel and pat dry, removing any loose skins.
Transfer dried chickpeas to prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with black pepper and salt.
Roast chickpeas for 20 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
Remove from oven and, while chickpeas are still warm, toss with garlic powder and paprika. Cool completely.
Lower oven temperature to 400°F. Spread the grated carrots on a baking sheet and roast for about 15 minutes, or until they become soft.
In a blender, combine the roasted carrots, water, olive oil, rice vinegar, garlic, minced ginger, orange zest, and honey. Blend everything on high until the dressing is smooth, about 2 minutes. Cover and place in the refrigerator to chill.
In a large bowl, mix the spinach with lemon juice and olive oil until evenly coated.
Add the roasted chickpeas, grated carrot, grated beet, shredded chicken, half of the avocado, pumpkin seeds, and a little black pepper. Toss everything together.
Pour half of the dressing over the salad and mix well. Then, top with the rest of the avocado, the remaining dressing, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Add more pepper if needed. Enjoy!
