Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas
- Spread the chickpeas out on the baking sheet and drizzle with the avocado oil, and sprinkle with all of the seasonings. Toss gently so that the chickpeas are evenly coated. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, gently shaking the baking sheet every 10 minutes to move around the chickpeas.

- Place the greens in your Popbowl.
- Top greens with persimmons, pomegranate seeds, pumpkin seeds, fennel, cucumber, carrots, and chickpeas.
- In the Popbowl dressing container, combine the extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, and season with salt & pepper. Seal with the lid, then shake well until combined. You can place the dressing container into the Popbowl. Cover with lid.
- When you are ready to enjoy, pour the dressing over the salad. Seal with the lid, & shake.
