  3. Toss the zucchini, bell pepper, red onion and chickpeas on the sheet pan with the olive oil, oregano, black pepper and half of the salt; spread in one layer.
  4. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway, until the vegetables are browned and the chickpeas are crisp at the edges. Scatter the walnuts on a corner of the pan for the last 5 minutes to toast.
  5. While the pan roasts, whisk the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, the remaining half of the salt and the chopped half of the basil, then whisk in the water until smooth and pourable.
  6. Toss the cabbage and cherry tomatoes in a large bowl with half of the dressing and let it sit 5 minutes to soften slightly.
  7. Divide the dressed cabbage among four plates, top with the warm roasted vegetables and chickpeas, and drizzle with the remaining half of the dressing.
  8. Finish with the Parmesan, toasted walnuts and the torn half of the basil.
