Instructions buckwheat with vegetables and spiced chickpeas

In a bowl mix oil with honey, spices and salt.
Drain the chickpeas. Dry them well with paper towels. The drier they are, the crispier they will become during cooking. Cut the zucchini into half-moons, divide the cherry tomatoes into smaller pieces and cut your bell peppers into strips.
Add oil with spices into the vegetable and chickpea and mix well. Spread some baking paper on a large pan and pour them all over.
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.
