Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 small red onion
- 2 medium garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.75 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 loaf baguette
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices on a slight diagonal to give more surface area. Place the slices on a baking sheet.
Brush the baguette slices lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil on both sides. Toast them in the oven for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside.
While the bread is toasting, rinse and drain the chickpeas under cold water. Transfer to a medium bowl.
Finely dice the red onion and garlic cloves. Halve the cherry tomatoes, and add everything to the chickpeas.
Drizzle the chickpea mixture with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the lemon juice. Toss until everything is coated evenly.
Sprinkle in the parsley, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir to combine and let the flavors meld for 5 minutes.
Once ready to serve, spoon the chickpea mixture generously onto each toasted baguette slice.
Drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze over the top of each bruschetta for a sweet and tangy finish.
Serve immediately as an appetizer or light snack. Enjoy!
