One-Pan Chickpeas with Spinach & Feta (Lemony)

Quick & Easy

Crisp-edged chickpeas tossed with wilted spinach, finished with feta and lemon for a fast, bright one-pan meal.

Why smarter

12 minutes is realistic: 2 min to heat pan and open/drain chickpeas, 2 min to rinse and shake-dry, 5–6 min to sauté until lightly browned, 1 min to wilt spinach, 1 min to crumble feta and squeeze lemon, immediate plating.

Chef tip

Dry chickpeas well before they hit the pan—less steam means faster browning and better texture. Shortcut: Use canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed) and pre-washed baby spinach if available.

Method

  1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas; shake dry well.
