Instructions
To create Roasted Carrots and Chickpeas With Marinated Feta, follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure even cooking.
2. Prepare Vegetables: Peel the carrots and cut them into sticks about 1 inch long.
3. Toss Carrots and Chickpeas: In a large bowl, mix the carrot sticks and rinsed chickpeas. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat.
4. Roast: Spread the carrot and chickpea mixture evenly on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
5. Prepare Feta Marinade: While the vegetables are roasting, combine the cubed feta cheese, balsamic vinegar, dried oregano, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir gently to ensure the feta is well coated.
6. Combine: Once the roasted carrots and chickpeas are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Combine them with the marinated feta mixture.
7. Serve Warm: Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy immediately or at room temperature.
These steps guide you through the process of creating this incredible meal effortlessly. The combination of roasting and marinating infuses each ingredient with deep, satisfying flavors.
