Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.

Drain and rinse chickpeas, then pat them dry using paper towels.

Cut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Pierce the skin a few times with a knife.

Peel and cut carrots into 3 portions. Peel the onion and cut it into 8 quarters.

Place squash (cut side down), carrots, and onion on one baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 TBSP avocado oil and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Pour 1/4 cup of water around the squash.

Place chickpeas on the second baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 TBSP avocado oil and season with 1/4 tsp sea salt.

Place both pans on the center rack of the oven. Roast for 30 minutes, then remove chickpeas. Continue roasting squash and vegetables for an additional 15-25 minutes, or until tender.

While squash is still roasting, mix together smoked paprika, ground cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and ground cumin in a small bowl. Once chickpeas are done roasting, toss them with the spice mix.

Allow roasted veggies to cool slightly, then remove squash skin or scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Discard the skin.

In a medium-large pot, melt 2 TBSP unsalted butter over medium heat. Once butter starts to simmer and brown, add minced garlic and whisk constantly until butter is golden and fragrant.

Add vegetable broth, cover, and reduce heat to low.

Working in batches, blend the roasted veggies with the broth and seasoned chickpeas in a blender until smooth. Fill blender only 2/3 full, as hot liquid expands. Return the blended soup to the pot and mix well.

Season the soup to taste with additional salt or spices, if needed. Keep covered over the lowest heat setting until ready to serve.
