Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup olive oil, plus 1 tbsp extra

  • 3 tbsp white or cider vinegar

  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 tsp dried thyme leaves

  • generous pinches dried sage

  • 1/3 cup olive oil

  • 1/2 bunch kale leaves, or 142-g container baby spinach

  • 540-ml can chickpeas

Instructions

  • PREHEAT oven to 450F. Peel carrots and parsnips, then cut in half lengthwise. Halve peppers. Slice onion into thick wedges. Place all on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with pinches of salt. Toss to coat. Roast in centre of preheated oven until tender, from 20 to 25 min. (No need to turn.)
