Roasted Zucchini, Tomatoes, and Chickpeas

Chickpeas, roasted right alongside tender summer squash and cherry tomatoes, add substance and flavor to this simple side dish. It's great alongside pork tenderloin or grilled chicken, but can also be transformed into a vegetarian main dish by serving over rice.
