Add mushrooms and onions to a sauté pan and allow to cook and brown to soften, about 3 minutes
Add in chickpeas, carrots and beets and seasonings
Sauté, allowing carrots to cook for at least 3 minutes
Add tamari and maple syrup
Sauté together allowing flavor to infuse into the chickpeas and veggies
