These Loaded baked chickpeas were inspired by the Tandoori chickpeas from Ottolenghi’s One Test Kitchen. My version has more vegetables, inspired by a clean out the fridge frenzy, and 5different spices. The end result is the same. A deliciously saucy chickpea dish that you can scoop up with hot pieces of flatbread (here’s my go to recipe) or serve atop a bed of fluffy bulgur wheat or couscous.
Use a large casserole dish and don’t worry if it seems packed. The mixture reduces as it cooks so you’ll end up with about half the volume.
