Nutrition Buzz:

• Chickpeas provide fiber and resistant starch that nourish beneficial gut bacteria. As these bacteria break them down, they produce short-chain fatty acids that help support the cells lining your colon.
• Cherry tomatoes contain lycopene, the antioxidant pigment behind their vibrant red color. Roasting helps make lycopene more accessible, while olive oil helps your body absorb it.
