Mediterranean Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans) With Vegetables image

This is a great protein filled vegetarian dish. It would also make a lovely side dish by reducing the portions. This recipe is from a "Cooking Light" magazine. I also highly reccomend that you do use fresh parmesan and not the stuff found in a can. If you don't have any fresh at hand, some shredded mozzarella would work fine as well.
