Roasted Fall Vegetables with Chickpeas — Fast, easy, HEALTHY, and a great recipe to try as a meatless main or as a satisfying plant-based lunch!! So much FLAVOR in the veggies from the spices and the chickpeas turn crispy!!
Fall Roasted Vegetable Medley
I love roasted vegetables and can make a meal out of them. Especially when there’s crispy roasted and seasoned chickpeas to go along with them.
This isn’t a rocket science recipe that would necessarily make Julia Child proud. But it takes simple ingredients, and with very simple preparation, demonstrates that seasonal veggies can taste like a million bucks. At least to me they do, but I have never been a ‘have to have meat and potatoes’ type of person.
The roasted fall vegetables are fast, easy, naturally vegan, gluten-free, and healthy. If you’re trying to go for a meatless main or aiming for some healthier lunch alternatives, this is a no-brainer.
It’s filling from all the fiber in the veggies as well as from the plant-based protein in the chickpeas.
What’s in Fall Roasted Vegetables?
To make this roasted vegetable medley, you’ll need:
- Sweet potato
- Brussels sprouts
- Chickpeas
- Red onion
- Olive oil
- Spices (cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, pepper)
- Garlic
How to Make Fall Roasted Vegetables
I used the same ingredients that I did in this Roasted Sweet Potato and Chickpea Buddha Bowl including chickpeas, sweet potatoes, red onions, and swapped broccoli for Brussels sprouts here.
I tossed everything in olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Simple warming spices that deliver lots of flavor.
Then, roast the veggies until tender and the Brussels sprouts have some color on them.
What Temperature to Roast Vegetables?
I prefer to roast veggies at a high heat. In this recipe, I specify 425 degrees F.
How Long to Roast Vegetables?
Because you’re roasting heartier veggies like sweet potatoes in this recipe, you’ll need to roast them for about 25 to 30 minutes.
Can I Add Other Vegetables?
Yes, you can definitely mix and match the veggies based on what you have on hand and enjoy. If you have other veggies that roast well — like zucchini, carrots, squash, or cauliflower — they would be nice additions.
Can You Roast Frozen Vegetables?
Technically, yes. However, I don’t recommend using any frozen vegetables for this particular recipe (Brussels sprouts are best fresh, in my opinion).
Tips for Making a Roasted Vegetable Medley
Make sure to pat your chickpeas dry with a paper towel when you add them to the baking sheet. That will allow them to crisp up much more in the oven.
While they will never get as crispy as, say, a potato chip, you’ll be surprised what a crispy texture they take on after roasting — no frying involved. I adore them.
If you’re feeling like adding a sauce on the side to dip the veggies into or drizzle over the top, I highly recommend either this Lemon Tahini Dressing or this Curry Yogurt Sauce. Both sauces for the roasted vegetables are fast, easy, whisk-together dressings that are lovely based on what you’re in the mood for.

- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
- minced garlic, optional and to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F convection bake (if you don’t have a convection oven, 425F regular is fine, noting your roasting time could be a bit longer) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
- Add the sweet potato, Brussels sprouts cut side down, chickpeas, and red onion. Evenly drizzle with olive oil, evenly sprinkle with cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, pepper, and optional garlic.
- Roast for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender and sprouts are as darkened as desired. Toss/flip once midway through roasted to ensure even cooking.
