    More often than not on busy weeknights, I set up our dinner ‘serve yourself’ style at the bar. Everybody grabs a plate, piles it high, then we meet at the table to feast and catch up on the events of the day. It’s a fast, no-fuss dinner situation that we can’t seem to get enough of around here. Our Sheet-Pan Indian Spiced Chickpea and Egg Recipe is perfect for this type of buffet-style dinner and it's one our family has recently been going nuts for!

    *** Updated 2/25/2022 with chickpea information, new layout, and updated recipe card.***

    This Sheet Pan Indian Spiced Chickpea and Egg Recipe is simple, easy to clean, and delicious!

    While this isn’t a traditional Indian dish, it is loaded with 4 spices that are essential in Indian cooking; cumin, coriander, turmeric, and black pepper. Since we cook a lot of Mexican-inspired dishes, our kids are pretty comfortable with black pepper, cumin, and coriander. However, turmeric is a pretty new flavor for them.

    I love turmeric for the color that it lends to dishes as well as its pungent, earthy fragrance; plus it is really good for us too and is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Now that our kids love it in this simple sheet pan dinner, I feel confident that we can branch out even more and make it part of our regular dinner repertoire.

    • Yield: 4 1x
    • Category: Sheet Pan Supper
    • Method: Baked
    • Cuisine: Indian

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray
    • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed, drained, and patted dry on a clean kitchen towel
    • 1 teaspoon cumin
    • ½ teaspoon coriander
    • ½ teaspoon turmeric
    • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
    • salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
    • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
    • 1 cup cooked quinoa, plus more to serve
    • 2 springs onions, white and green parts divided
    • 4 eggs
    • ¼ cup cherry tomatoes

    To garnish

    • cilantro
    • lime wedges
    • sliced chile peppers
    • Maldon sea salt
    • freshly cracked black pepper

    Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
    2. Spread the chickpeas out on a baking sheet and spray generously with Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray, about 1 tablespoons worth. Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric, and smoked paprika to the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss the chickpeas to coat in the oil and spices. Add the red bell pepper strips and the white parts of the spring onion to the pan and toss to incorporate. Bake 20 minutes, shaking pan once. Remove from the oven.
    3. Add the cherry tomatoes to the pan. Then make 4 spaces among the chickpeas and scoop ¼ cup of the quinoa into each space, spreading out into an even layer, then spray each lightly with Pompeian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray. Crack the eggs over the quinoa. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper. Bake 5-8 minutes more until the egg whites are set and the yolks have just thickened.
    4. Garnish with cilantro leaves, thin slices of chile pepper, the green parts of the spring onion, Maldon sea salt flakes, and black pepper. Serve immediately with wedges of lime.

      I made this tonight for myself. I made a few changes because of the contents of my refrigerator. I didn't have a red pepper or even fresh hot peppers. But I had a half of a small sweet potato and some Brussels sprouts, along with some spring onions. So I worked with that, dicing the potato and mixing the spices with everything and the chickpeas. Delish! It all worked well with quinoa and one egg. Thank you for the recipe.
