    Servings: 4
    Prep Time: 20 minutes
    Cook Time: 30 minutes
    Storage: Vacuum seal bags, refrigerate up to 7 days or freeze up to 3 months

    Ingredients:

    • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
    • 2 cups chopped eggplant
    • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
    • 1 medium zucchini, chopped
      1 red onion, sliced
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • 1 cup cooked couscous or bulgur wheat
    • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
    • Fresh parsley for garnish
    • Lemon wedges for serving

  • Instructions:

    1. Roast the vegetables. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss eggplant, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and onion with olive oil, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
    2. Prepare the grains. Cook couscous or bulgur according to package instructions.
    3. Assemble the bowls. Divide cooked grains into four portions. Add roasted vegetables and chickpeas evenly to each.
    4. Vacuum seal. Place each portion into a Stash Proof vacuum seal bag and vacuum seal to lock in freshness.
    5. Store and serve. Refrigerate for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 3 months. To serve, thaw if frozen and reheat gently. Garnish with crumbled feta, fresh parsley, and a squeeze of lemon.

  • Pro Tips for Success

    • Cool before sealing: Let roasted veggies and grains cool fully before vacuum sealing to prevent condensation inside the bag.
    • Freeze smart: Portion bowls individually for quick grab-and-go meals. Lay sealed bags flat so they stack neatly in your fridge or freezer.
    • Add fresh later: Keep garnishes like feta, parsley, or lemon separate and add just before serving for the brightest flavor.
    • Reheat gently: Warm bowls in a skillet or microwave at low heat to preserve texture and avoid mushy vegetables.

  • Why It Works

    The combination of protein-rich chickpeas, flavorful roasted veggies, and wholesome grains makes a balanced, satisfying meal. Vacuum sealing helps retain vibrant flavors and textures, reducing waste and saving prep time.

    Customize Your Bowl

    Swap grains for quinoa or brown rice. Add olives or roasted red peppers for extra Mediterranean flair. Use dairy-free cheese or skip it for a vegan option.
