Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. On a large rimmed baking sheet, combine 8 oz sliced spicy chorizo, 1 can (15 oz) drained chickpeas, 1 pint whole cherry tomatoes, 1 diced red bell pepper, and 1 diced small red onion.
  2. Step 2: Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle 2 tsp smoked paprika, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper over the mixture. Toss thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
  3. Step 3: Spread the ingredients in an even layer and roast for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chorizo is crispy and tomatoes have burst.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven, sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, and serve hot with crusty bread or over rice.
