    The inspiration for this recipe happened over two years ago! My now husband and I got engaged in June of 2014 on a trip to Walt Disney World. Right there in front of Mickey Mouse, he got down on one knee and popped the question – and I was so happy and excited that I actually forgot to say “yes” at the time! When we got back to Michigan, we had dinner with both of our parents to celebrate at a local restaurant that we love: Cork Wine Pub.

    I absolutely love this restaurant: they have some unique takes on classic recipes and always excel at innovating. They change their menu seasonally so it’s unfortunate when something super-tasty is gone from the menu, but I’m okay with it because it’s always replaced by something equally tasty and seasonally appropriate. At our engagement celebratory meal we started with a bowl full of spicy, crispy chickpeas that were literally devoured within minutes. I thought to myself – I could totally make these at home!

    And so the idea for recreating those tasty morsels of goodness at home went into my stuffed “recipe idea journal,” and sat there and evolved for these past two years, ultimately ending up with the crostini recipe that I’m sharing with y’all today! I coated the chickpeas in a lovely spice mixture of paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper before oven-roasting them. Those roasted crispy chickpeas were amazing, but I thought: these could be even better paired with a cool and creamy Greek yogurt spread and a fresh lemony vinaigrette over crispy toasts. Because everything is better in crostini form!

    For chickpeas
    1. 1 19 oz. can chickpeas, drained and rinsed and dried as well as possible 🙂
    2. 1 tbsp. olive oil
    3. 1 tsp. paprika
    4. ½ tsp. cayenne pepper
    5. ½ tsp. kosher salt
    6. ¼ tsp. ground black pepper
    For yogurt sauce
    1. 1 cup Greek yogurt
    2. 1 tbsp. lemon juice
    3. 2-3 oz. Feta cheese, crumbled
    4. 1 pinch kosher salt
    For vinaigrette
    1. 2 tbsp. lemon juice
    2. 1 clove garlic, finely minced
    3. 1/8 cup cilantro, finely minced
    4. ⅛ cup parsley, finely minced
    5. ½ cup olive oil
    6. kosher salt
    7. ground black pepper
    8. 1 baguette, cut into thin slices
    9. Olive oil
    10. Microgreens, for serving (optional)
    Instructions
    1. Heat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium sized bowl, combine chickpeas with olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and ground black pepper. Toss until evenly coated. Transfer chickpeas to a baking sheet and roast in heated oven until crispy, about 30 minutes. You can also turn the broiler on for a couple minutes at the end of the cooking period if you want them extra crispy!
    2. While chickpeas roast, make yogurt sauce. Combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Feta cheese, and salt in a small bowl and whisk until combined. Set aside.
    3. To prepare vinaigrette, add lemon juice, garlic, cilantro, parsley, and olive oil to a salad shaker. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Shake until well combined.
    4. Heat broiler to high heat. Brush baguette slices with olive oil and arrange in one layer on a baking sheet. Toast slices under the broiler until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
    5. To assemble crostini, top each slice of toasted baguette with a dollop of yogurt sauce, followed by a spoonful of crispy chickpeas and the vinaigrette. Garnish with microgreens if desired. Enjoy!
