## Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
2. Make the parmesan roasted chickpeas: Drain the chickpeas, pat them dry, and transfer them to a baking sheet. Add olive oil, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, herbs de province, and parmesan cheese. Toss to coat and bake for 15 minutes.

## Tips

- This bowl makes incredible leftovers.
- Double everything and you’ll have enough for lunches for a week!
- Double the dressing just so you have extra in your fridge.
- If you remove the seeds and wash off the jalapenos with water, it removes almost all of the spice, but still adds flavor.
- You can leave out the jalapeño from the dressing.
- Consider using dairy-free yogurt for a dairy-free option.
- You can substitute ground turkey for chicken.
- Cottage cheese may be used instead of ricotta cheese.
- Meatballs can be frozen for about 3 months.
- If you don't have fresh dill, dill weed seasoning can be used.
- Massaging the kale with a little salt and olive oil can help make it less tough.
- Consider adding avocado or feta cheese to your bowl for extra flavor and texture.
- You can use a store-bought dressing instead of making the yogurt jalapeño dressing. Some suggestions include zest ranch or honey mustard.
- For one-pan sheet dinner option, bake the meatballs at 400° for 20 mins in the oven.
