INSTRUCTIONS 1) Preheat oven to 425 0 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Return to the oven and bake for 10-15 more minutes, until the potatoes and chickpeas are golden. 6) Remove from the oven and add the spinach. Toss to combine. 7) Serve immediately (optional: on a bed of mixed greens, with avocado, your favourite condiments etc.).

RECIPE NOTES This recipe uses Frescolio avocado oil. Avocado oil is great for high-heat cooking because of its high smoke point. If you wanted to substitute with a different oil, try using a Robust Varietal EVOO as the smoke point is often higher than other EVOOs. If you're not a fan of smoked paprika, Hungarian paprika is a great alternative!
