Description
This Sheet-Pan Zucchini & Chickpea Bake with Feta is a vibrant blend of vegetables and flavors, perfect for a healthy dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 1 can (400g) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- First and foremost, set your oven to preheat at 400°F (200°C). This high temperature is essential for achieving perfectly roasted veggies that are golden and lightly caramelized.
- In a mixing bowl, combine your sliced zucchinis, red bell pepper, sliced onion, and the rinsed chickpeas. Add the olive oil, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly, ensuring that the vegetables and chickpeas are well coated with the olive oil and spices. This layering of flavors will be crucial for the final taste of the dish.
- Spread your flavorful mixture evenly on the baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding, as this can lead to steaming rather than roasting. Place it in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes. Remember to stir halfway through to ensure even cooking and caramelization of all the ingredients.
- After the initial roasting, the veggies should be tender and slightly charred. Now it’s time to sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the roasted mix. Return it to the oven and roast for another 5 minutes. This will allow the feta to soften and meld into the vegetables, adding a rich creaminess.
- Once your dish is finished roasting, remove it from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. The bright green will not only add a touch of color but also a fresh flavor that nicely balances the roasted richness of the dish. Serve warm, and enjoy!
