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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

While the bread is toasting, rinse and drain the chickpeas under cold water. Transfer to a medium bowl.

Step 5

Finely dice the red onion and garlic cloves. Halve the cherry tomatoes, and add everything to the chickpeas.

Step 6

Drizzle the chickpea mixture with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the lemon juice. Toss until everything is coated evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle in the parsley, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir to combine and let the flavors meld for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Once ready to serve, spoon the chickpea mixture generously onto each toasted baguette slice.

Step 9

Drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze over the top of each bruschetta for a sweet and tangy finish.

Step 10

Serve immediately as an appetizer or light snack. Enjoy!
