   Stir in the diced bell pepper, grated carrot, and chopped spinach. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

4. 4

   Mix in Chickpeas and Spices

   Add the drained chickpeas, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
