Ingredients
- 24 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 24 pieces Fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini)
- 24 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 400 grams Canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

- 150 grams Goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions
Start by preparing the mini Caprese skewers. Thread one cherry tomato, one mozzarella ball, and one basil leaf onto a cocktail skewer. Repeat for all 24 skewers.
Arrange the Caprese skewers on a platter, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and balsamic glaze, and set aside.
Next, prepare the crispy spiced chickpeas by preheating the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Pat the chickpeas dry with a paper towel and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Toss the chickpeas with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the spiced chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
While the chickpeas roast, prepare the herbed goat cheese crostini. Slice the baguette into 12 thin slices and lightly toast them in a toaster or under the oven broiler for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese with chopped parsley, chives, and honey until smooth and creamy.
Spread the herbed goat cheese mixture onto the toasted baguette slices.
Once the chickpeas are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Arrange the crostini and spiced chickpeas alongside the Caprese skewers on a large serving platter, and enjoy the variety of flavors!
