Crispy Gruyère Chickpeas & Spinach with Lemon

Ingredients:

• 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon lemon zest
• ⅓ cup grated Gruyère cheese
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chickpeas dry with a paper towel. Toss with olive oil, smoked paprika, and salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Meanwhile, wilt spinach in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water. Stir in lemon juice, zest, and season with black pepper.

Combine the crispy chickpeas with the wilted spinach and top generously with grated Gruyère. Serve immediately as a warm, savory side or light meal.
