chickpea bake

This creamy chickpea bake is the ultimate comfort food, with chickpeas and roasted vegetables in a creamy, garlicky sauce, topped with melted cheese.

Creamy chickpea bake

carrot, (diced fairly small)

aubergine ((eggplant), diced)

courgette ((zucchini), diced)

red pepper, (diced)

onion, (diced)

garlic,

parsley

tbsp oil

tbsp garlic and herb cream cheese

75 g cheddar cheese, (grated (~ 3/4 cup when grated))

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.

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.

Pesto Chickpea Bake

potato

red bell pepper

oz green beans (trimmed)

olive oil (for roasting)

salt and pepper (to taste

cherry tomatoes (halved)

kale (chopped)

tbsp prepared basil pesto (see notes)

oz chickpeas

grated cheese (you can use cheddar, mozzarella

Preheat the oven to 220C / 200C Fan / 400F.

Add the sweet potato, green beans and peppers into a 9x13 casserole dish or roasting pan. Toss with olive oil and add salt and pepper to taste. The recipe&#39;s quantities are very approximate - focus on how the veggies fill the pan. You want to fill the bottom of the pan with veggies but keep it all in a single layer.

Place in the oven for 20-30 minutes (turning once, at the halfway mark) until the sweet potato is soft. The green beans and peppers should be tender and browned. The time it takes will depend how crowded the pan is (the more crowded, the longer it will take to roast) and whether you use a metal or ceramic pan (metal is quicker).

Add the chickpeas, cherry tomatoes and pesto. Toss through, until everything is well coated in the pesto.

Add the kale and mix through.

Add the cheese to the top and return to the oven for 10-15 minutes, until bubbling.

Allow to sit out for about 5 minutes to set and cool before you cut in and serve.
