Ingredients

  • 1 400g can of chickpeas, drained & rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil plus extra for drizzling
  • 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons of dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon of chili flakes to taste
  • 200 g of feta block, not crumbles
  • 110 g of plain yogurt
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Zest of 1/2 a lemon
  • Sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to around 400 F (a little higher for regular oven, around 390 convection).  Make sure your chickpeas are dried well.
  • Toss the chickpeas into a bowl and add the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, chili flakes, and a big pinch of salt.  Stir to coat, then tip onto a roasting tray or baking pan (something with sides...I use a 9x9 pan).
  • Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until crispy on the outside but still soft inside.
  • While the chickpeas are roasting, in a food process blitz the feta, yogurt, garlic, lemon zest, and salt.  Taste and adjust the lemon, garlic, or salt as needed.
  • Spread the feta mixture on a plate and top with the roasted chickpeas.  Drizzle with some good olive oil and serve immediately.
