Description
A simple baked vegetable casserole that combines chickpeas, fresh veggies, and spices for a satisfying meal or side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups of spinach, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup of vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup of shredded cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Combine the chickpeas, spinach, bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the vegetable broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.

- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the dish is heated through.

Notes
Preheating gives the dish an even start. Mixing well spreads the broth so the vegetables cook evenly. Use a dish that fits the mix without crowding. Cheese melts faster than the vegetables cook, so add it near the end if you like a brown top. Let it sit for a few minutes after baking so it holds shape when you scoop.
