Creamy chickpea bake

Step 1

Add the vegetables (carrot through garlic) to a baking dish (mine measured approx. 8 x 8 inches), along with the dried parsley and oil. Mix well to combine. Roast at 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F) for around 40 minutes, stirring halfway, or until nicely roasted.

Step 2

Add the drained chickpeas and garlic and herb cream cheese to the hot vegetables, and mix until the cream cheese has melted. Sprinkle the grated cheddar on top, and return to the oven for a further 15 minutes or so, until piping hot.
