How
- 1Start by heating up some olive oil in a frying pan.

- 4Once the eggplant is nicely roasted, drizzle a bit more oil into the pan.
- 5Time to add some flavorful spices! Toss in cumin, paprika powder, and garlic powder. Toast these spices for about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn them since the pan is probably already hot.

- 7Next up, thinly slice the onion into half rings.
- 8Grab a bowl and fill it with arugula. Arrange the eggplant slices on top, followed by the seasoned chickpeas and red onion.
- 9Finally drizzle the juice lemon juice on top for a fresh finish.
