Baked zucchini chickpea tomato and spiced nuts – The Brown Paper Bag

Baked zucchini chickpea tomato and spiced nuts

Experienced some imperfect zucchini from our order last week and felt inspired to whip up something yum for lunch today – this was it! Stoked on the end result. Enjoy seeing all these veggies and flavours in one particular dish. I included a few felafel as nicely when I ate it, feel it would be deeeeeelicious with pita / flat bread.
