Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the bread

Slice bread into 1/2-inch thick slices. Brush both sides lightly with oil.

2
Toast the bread

Place bread slices on a baking sheet. Toast under broiler for 1-2 minutes per side until golden. Alternatively, toast in a toaster or grill on a pan. Set aside to cool slightly.

3
Prepare the chickpeas

Drain and rinse chickpeas. Place in a medium bowl. Lightly mash about half the chickpeas with a fork, leaving some whole for texture.

4
Prepare the vegetables

Peel and finely dice the red onion. Dice tomatoes into small cubes. Peel and mince the garlic.

5
Prepare the herbs

Wash and finely chop herbs (such as parsley, basil, or cilantro).

6
Make the topping

Add diced onion, tomatoes, minced garlic, and chopped herbs to the chickpeas. Squeeze lemon juice over the mixture. Add oil, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine.

7
Assemble the bruschetta

Spoon the chickpea mixture onto the toasted bread slices. If desired, drizzle with a little extra oil.

8
Serve

Arrange on a serving plate. Serve immediately while bread is still crisp.
