- Bake in the preheated oven at 190 – 200 °C for about 30, stirring a couple of times while they cook.
- Meanwhile, prepare the buckwheat. Rinse it under cold running water and then cook following the instructions on the box in plenty of salted water. Drain and set aside.
- Add the vegetables and chickpeas to the buckwheat and mix thoroughly. If you like, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
