Instructions

1

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir until combined.

Place the zucchini strips in a medium bowl. Place the rinsed and drained chickpeas in a medium bowl. Drizzle a little olive oil over the zucchini and a little over the chickpeas. Toss. Pour half of the seasoning mixture over the zucchini strips and half over the chickpeas. Stir until zucchini and chickpeas are well coated. Place seasoned zucchini and chickpeas on a large grill pan.
