Ingredients

2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 block feta cheese (about 200 g)

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

3 garlic cloves, minced

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a baking dish, combine chickpeas, halved cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Toss to combine.
  4. Place the block of feta in the center, nestling it among the chickpeas and tomatoes.

  6. Gently stir everything together until creamy. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

  • Add sliced olives or sun-dried tomatoes for more Mediterranean flair.
  • Stir in spinach after baking to wilt it into the mixture.
  • For a spicy kick, add more red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot honey.
  • Serve with crusty bread, pita, rice, or couscous.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven for best texture.
