Scant ¼ teaspoon salt

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups multi-colored cherry tomatoes
1 cup roasted red peppers, drained and diced
1/2 cup halved kalamata olives
3 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

SHEET-PAN FETA WITH CHICKPEAS AND TOMATOES



Sheet-Pan Feta With Chickpeas and Tomatoes image

In a spread of Greek appetizers, or meze, there's often a warm feta dish like bouyiourdi (baked feta with tomato and hot peppers) or a saganaki (fried cheese). This recipe combines elements of these two classic appetizers into a sheet-pan meal. Softened feta provides a salty, creamy counterpoint to sweet, juicy tomatoes and chickpeas that are sticky from honey and spicy from dried chile. Try this version, then riff wildly: Switch out tomatoes for mini peppers, olives, dates or cauliflower. Swap the hot honey for anchovies, harissa, smoked paprika or turmeric. Eat with pita, grains, salad greens, hummus or yogurt.

Categories     easy, beans, appetizer, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups cooked chickpeas (homemade or two 15-ounce cans), drained, rinsed and shaken dry
2 pints (16 to 20 ounces) cherry or Sungold tomatoes
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon mild chile flakes (like gochugaru) or ½ teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
2 (6- to 8-ounce) blocks of feta (see Tip), sliced 1-inch-thick

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. On a baking sheet, stir together the chickpeas, tomatoes, shallot, olive oil, honey and chile flakes. Season with salt, then spread in an even layer. Arrange the feta among the chickpeas. Roast until the feta and tomatoes are soft and the chickpeas are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes (no need to stir). Eat right away. (The feta will harden as it cools; reheat leftovers.)

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of the spread. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a sweet, juicy flavor.
  • Use a variety of herbs: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs to create a unique flavor profile. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the tomatoes, make sure to spread them out in a single layer so that they can cook evenly.
  • Roast the tomatoes until they are slightly caramelized: This will bring out their natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Use a good quality feta cheese: The feta cheese is a key ingredient in this spread, so it's important to use a high-quality cheese that has a rich, creamy flavor.
  • Serve the spread warm or at room temperature: This spread is best enjoyed when it is warm or at room temperature. It can be served on crostini, crackers, or bread.

Conclusion:

This hot feta and tomato spread is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy flavor, this spread is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give this hot feta and tomato spread a try.
