About this recipe
Jerk Chickpea and Roasted Vegetable Salad for a Bold Vegan Feast
This Jerk Chickpea and Roasted Vegetable Salad is colourful, hearty and packed with bold Caribbean flavour. Roasted chickpeas, peppers, courgettes and red onions are coated in Jerk Centre Taste From the Ancestors Sauce, then cooked until golden, smoky and full of warmth.
The chickpeas add a satisfying bite, while the roasted vegetables bring natural sweetness and softness. Served over fresh salad leaves with herbs and a squeeze of citrus, this vegan salad feels fresh, vibrant and filling without being heavy.
It is perfect for a healthy lunch, BBQ side, plant-based dinner or meal-prep dish. Every bite brings together roasted sweetness, gentle jerk spice, fresh herbs and a lovely island-inspired kick.
Chef’s Tips
Roast until the chickpeas are slightly crispy for the best texture.
Add couscous or rice to make it more filling.
Serve with coconut yoghurt for cooling creaminess.
This salad tastes even better the next day once the flavours settle.
