Chickpeas are also known as garbanzo beans, which sure has an enthusiastic ring to it. And what’s not to love about these tiny, protein-packed legumes? Here you'll crisp them up with garlic, onions and our special Goa-inspired curry masala spice blend. Adding homey comfort to this plant-based plate, you’ll toast naan croutons and cashews with garlic until golden brown, and sizzle some halloumi until the exterior is crispy.

Preparation
Mise en place
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Juice the lime. Cut the halloumi into ¼ inch slices. Cut the naan into bite-size pieces. In a large bowl, combine ⅓ of the garlic, 1 tbsp yogurt, 1 tbsp lime juice and 3 tbsp oil (double the lime juice and oil for 4 portions); season with S&P to taste. Add the radishes and beets; toss well.
Cook the chickpeas
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the onions and ½ the remaining garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the chickpeas (rinse and drain before adding) and 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions); season with ¾ of the spice blend. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 6 minutes, until the water has evaporated and the chickpeas are slightly crispy. Wipe out and reserve the pan.
Toast the naan & cashews
While the chickpeas cook, on a lined sheet pan, toss the naan and cashews with a drizzle of oil and the remaining garlic; season with the remaining spice blend and S&P. Arrange in a single, even layer and toast in the oven, 5 to 7 minutes, until golden. Remove from the oven and set aside in a warm spot.
Cook the halloumi
In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the halloumi and cook, 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Finish & serve
To the bowl of radishes, add the baby greens and toss to combine. Divide the remaining yogurt between your plates and spread out in a circular motion; season with S&P. Top with the salad, chickpeas, halloumi, naan croutons and cashews. Bon appétit!
