1/2 cup Homemade or Store-bought BBQ Sauce

Ranch Dressing

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 400˚F. Give your potatoes a good scrub and slice in half. Place on a sheet tray then drizzle with olive oil and salt, rubbing/coating the entire potato. Place cut-side down and roast the potatoes until tender; about 30 minutes or so (depending on the size.)
  • To make the chickpeas, heat a pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil followed by the onion. Cook the onion until fragrant and translucent, 6 or so minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the chickpeas to the pan and continue to cook. As the chickpeas warm, use a fork or potato masher to mash most of the chickpeas. Stir in the BBQ sauce and cook until hot.
  • Finally, combine all the ingredients for the dressing in a blender. Add a splash of water as needed to thin the dressing.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a serving tray. Load the potatoes with the BBQ chickpeas and drizzle the avocado dressing over the potatoes. Sprinkle with minced parsley and extra chopped avocado as desired.

Notes

Tips + Tricks: Check your store-bought BBQ sauce. Many brands have a ton of extra ingredients that just aren't needed.
