Baked Chickpeas with Tomatoes and Feta
Baked Chickpeas with Tomatoes and Feta – This delicious Mediterranean recipe combines tender chickpeas, fresh grape tomatoes, and chopped garlic with rich, tangy feta cheese. These creamy, garlicky chickpeas and tomatoes are the ultimate healthy side dish or a protein-packed part of your vegetarian meal.
Equipment
- 1.5 quart casserole dish or similar baking dish
Ingredients
- 15 oz. can of chickpeas
- 1 cup halved grape tomatoes
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- salt & pepper to taste
- crushed red pepper flakes optional
- freshly chopped parsley optional garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°. Combine all of the ingredients except the parsley together in the baking dish. Stir to combine.
- Bake chickpeas for 20 minutes and remove from oven. I like to smash the tomatoes a little to open them up and release their juices, but feel free to leave them as-is. Stir everything. The feta cheese should be nice and melty and coat the chickpeas and tomatoes. Feel free to garnish with a little fresh parsley. Enjoy!
