A quick and irresistible dip combining creamy feta, sweet and spicy hot honey, and crispy roasted chickpeas, served with toasted sourdough bread. Perfect for entertaining and crowd-pleasing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey (store-bought or homemade by infusing honey with chili flakes)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (for roasting chickpeas)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for dip)
  • Fresh thyme or oregano (optional, for garnish)
  • Sourdough bread, sliced thick (about 1/2 inch thick slices)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  3. In a mixing bowl, toss chickpeas with 1 tablespoon olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Spread chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Watch closely after 20 minutes to prevent burning.
  5. While chickpeas roast, crumble feta cheese into a medium bowl. Add hot honey, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Gently fold together until creamy and well combined. Add a splash of water or more olive oil if needed to loosen the dip.
  6. Slice sourdough loaf into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Toast in the oven or toaster oven for 5-7 minutes until golden and crisp.
  7. Transfer the feta dip to a serving dish. Top generously with the crispy roasted chickpeas.
  8. Drizzle a bit more hot honey on top for a glossy, spicy finish.
  9. Garnish with fresh thyme or oregano leaves if desired.
  10. Serve immediately with toasted sourdough slices around the dip.

Notes

Dry chickpeas thoroughly before roasting to ensure crispiness. Drizzle hot honey just before serving to avoid watery dip. For a milder version, reduce hot honey or use regular honey with cayenne. Store chickpeas separately to maintain crunch when storing leftovers.
