Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled or cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or basil, for garnish (optional)

  2. In a medium baking dish, combine the rinsed and drained chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat everything evenly.
  3. Nestle the feta cheese among the chickpea and tomato mixture in the baking dish.
