By á-4939

Ingredients

• 1 cup barley
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 3-4 cups fresh broccoli florets, rinsed
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup olive oil, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.


Bring a stockpot of salted water to a boil. Add the barley, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook the barley until tender, about 45 minutes total.

While the barley cooks, pat the chickpeas and broccoli dry , then toss in a large bowl with the olive oil, salt, and chili flakes.

Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, until the tips of the broccoli are caramelized and the chickpeas are shiny and slightly shriveled.

Drain the cooked barley and toss with the roasted vegetables, seasoning with additional salt, pepper, and olive oil as needed.
