Ingredients

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 can chickpeas (about 1 3/4 cups), drained and rinsed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon everything-but-the-bagel seasoning (optional)
  • 1 large red onion, very thinly sliced
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 whole clove
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 small Persian cucumber, grated
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes
  • 6 flatbreads
  • 1 to 2 cups hummus
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • 1/2 cup sliced kalamata olives (optional)
  • Fresh chopped mint, parsley, and dill for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pickled onions by combining water, apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, sugar, salt, and the whole clove in a small pot. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and allow to cool for about 1 hour.
  2. Add the thinly sliced onions and optional red pepper flakes to the cooled pickling liquid. Transfer to a jar and refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread drained chickpeas on paper towels and allow them to dry for 15–30 minutes.
  4. Toss the chickpeas with olive oil, maple syrup, salt, paprika, onion powder, and black pepper. Spread on a foil-lined baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes, shaking the pan every 10 minutes until crispy and golden. Sprinkle with everything-but-the-bagel seasoning after roasting.
  5. Prepare the tomato salad by combining cherry tomatoes, chopped bell pepper, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
  6. Make the yogurt sauce by squeezing excess liquid from the grated cucumber. Combine the cucumber with Greek yogurt, mint, parsley, dill, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and Aleppo pepper. Stir until smooth.
  7. Warm the flatbreads in a skillet, grill, oven, or toaster until soft and heated through.
  8. Spread a thin layer of hummus over each flatbread. Top with tomato salad, crispy chickpeas, and pickled onions.
  9. Drizzle yogurt sauce over the top and garnish with fresh herbs, feta cheese, or olives if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Dry chickpeas thoroughly before roasting to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and omit the feta cheese.
  • Add grilled vegetables like zucchini, eggplant, or mushrooms for a heartier flatbread.
  • Store chickpeas separately at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain crunch.
  • Assemble the flatbreads just before serving for the best texture and flavor.
