These super-flavorful, one-dish braised chickpeas can be served so many ways—as an appetizer for dipping with some crusty bread, as a side dish, or as dinner all by itself over some rice or quinoa. If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, they are even better the next day.

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Put the chickpeas, garlic, shallots, lemon, salt, paprika, oregano, and rosemary into the baking dish, and cover with 1 cup of olive oil. If most of the ingredients are not submerged in the oil, add a little more. They should be submerged at least ¾ of the way. Cover with aluminum foil, and bake for about 40 minutes. Serve warm with some toasted bread or over rice or quinoa, or as a salad topper. This will keep for about a week in an airtight container in the fridge.
