When you want a fast veggie bowl that still tastes like real food, this one delivers. Tip in the frozen veg, add your smoky spice mix, then let the air fryer do the work while you get on with your evening. The chickpeas go lightly crisp on the outside and stay soft in the middle, so the bowl feels hearty, not like a side salad. Eat it straight from the bowl, or serve it with grilled chicken or fish.
