Ingredients
- 4-6 tbsp (80 ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 14 oz (400 g) can of chickpeas, drained
- 2 large sweet peppers, sliced into rings
- 1 cup (150 g) cherry tomatoes
- 1 small sweet potato, cut into small cubes - or use 1/2 or a large one
- 1.5 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ cup (100 g) feta cheese, crumbled
- salt and pepper, to taste
- ½ lemon, cut into wedges for serving
- 1 handful parsley, cilantro, chives, basil, or any other fresh green herb
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425F / 220C / 200C fan.
- Line your sheet pan with parchment paper (baking paper). Add the veggies and chickpeas to the pan, drizzle with 4 tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle with the garlic powder and smoked paprika and toss together to get everything well coated. Add lots of salt and pepper. If it doesn't feel well coated enough in oil, another couple of tablespoons if you need to. Place in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and use a spatula to mix, flip and shuffle all of the ingredients around a little. This will help ensure they cook evenly.Place in the oven for another 10 minutes.
- Check in on the veggies. You're looking for the sweet potatoes to be cooked through, and for the peppers, shallots and tomatoes to be browning around the edges. If you need to cook it for a little longer, go ahead, until it fits this description.
- Sprinkle with crumbled feta and place back in the oven for another 5 minutes, to get the feta nice and soft.
- Add to a serving dish. Top with herbs and add lemon wedges for squeezing. Add a scoop of hummus if you wish.
