   crunchy.
3. In a small bowl, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped
   parsley, salt, and pepper.
4. Prepare the Slendier Shirataki Rice to packet instructions, then mix through the lemon and
   herb sauce.
5. To serve, divide the Slendier Shirataki Rice into four bowls, and top with roasted vegetables
   and crispy chickpeas. Garnish with fresh parsley and a lemon wedge.
