Step 1

Make the crunchy roasted chickpeas: Pre-heat oven to 400F/200C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the chickpeas very dry and toss into a medium bowl with the olive oil, sea salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Pour the seasoned chickpeas onto the baking sheet and roast until crunchy and golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Stir after 20 minutes for an even bake. Let cool.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, add the romaine lettuce and pour in 1 batch of the Vegan Caesar Dressing. Toss to combine. Sprinkle with vegan parmesan cheese (optional) and toss again. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the crunchy roasted chickpeas.
