Roasted Beet and Chickpea Salad

What you need: 

4-6 medium sized beets
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
dried or fresh dill, to taste, optional

What you do: 

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Put the washed beets on a baking sheet and roast for at least 1 hour (until they are soft and the skin is pulling away from the flesh).
2. Peel and discard the skin. Roughly chop the beet flesh. Add drained and rinsed chickpeas, lemon and maple syrup, and dill if using, along with beets into a bowl.
3. Mix well and eat.

Preparation Time: 
1.5 hours to roast beets, 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 
Servings: 

SO HOW'D IT GO?

I'm not sure why recipes always state to remove beet skin.  My beets were organic, and after being roasted the skins are hardly noticeable.

Simple and very tasty.  It doesn't hurt that beets are my favorite vegetable and chickpeas are my favorite legume.  Perfect recipe for me, thanks!
