CRISPY SPICED CHICKPEAS WITH PEPPERS AND TOMATOES
This vegetarian sheet-pan supper has verve to spare. You will need two sheet pans to make it, but that's about all the kitchen equipment necessary. On one of them, spice-coated chickpeas are roasted until golden and crisp, while juicy peppers, tomatoes and onions caramelize on the other. Handfuls of bright fresh herbs and sweet pomegranate seeds add color and crunch. Serve this by itself for a light dinner, or with couscous or rice for something more substantial.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees and arrange racks on the top and bottom thirds of the oven.
- In a large bowl, toss chickpeas with 2 tablespoons oil, the cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt until evenly coated. Spread onto a rimmed sheet pan in a single layer and top with 3 thyme sprigs.
- On a second sheet pan, combine bell peppers, tomatoes, onion, jalapeños and remaining thyme sprigs with 2 tablespoons oil and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread vegetables into one layer.
- Place chickpea pan on the bottom rack and vegetables on the top rack and roast for 10 minutes. Switch pan positions. Roast chickpeas until crisped but still tender, about 5 minutes, and roast vegetables until golden brown, about 10 minutes. If the vegetables are tender but not browned, place the pan under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to caramelize. Discard thyme sprigs.
- While the chickpeas and vegetables roast, whisk lemon juice, garlic and remaining 1/4 cup oil in a small bowl. Season with salt to taste.
- Arrange vegetables on a large platter and drizzle with half the dressing, then top with crispy chickpeas, fresh herbs and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle remaining dressing over everything. Serve with couscous or rice, if you like.

Steps:
- In an electric blender or food processor, puree the chickpeas, red peppers, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, cumin, cayenne, and salt.

Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (The hummus can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated. Return to room temperature before serving.)
- Sprinkle the hummus with the chopped parsley before serving.

Tips:
- Roast the peppers before using them. This will bring out their sweetness and make them easier to digest. To roast the peppers, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Place the peppers on a baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. Roast the peppers for 20-25 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly charred.
- Use canned chickpeas for convenience. Canned chickpeas are already cooked, so you can simply drain and rinse them before using them. If you want to use dried chickpeas, you will need to soak them overnight in water before cooking them.
- Add a variety of spices and herbs to the dip to taste. Some good options include cumin, coriander, paprika, and garlic powder. You can also add fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley.
- Serve the dip with your favorite dippers. Some good options include pita bread, crackers, or vegetable crudités.
Conclusion:
Roasted sweet pepper and chickpea dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences.
