Say hello to your new favorite one-pan wonder—Sheet-Pan Halloumi with Roasted Chickpeas & Veggies. This flavor-packed dinner is the perfect option for weeknights. At the center of the dish is calcium-rich halloumi cheese—a brined, firm cheese that keeps its shape and texture when it hits the heat. Meanwhile, chickpeas add protein and fiber to make this dish extra satisfying. The creamy yogurt spread underneath ties it all together, adding a cool, tangy kick. Ready to grab your fork and dig in? Read on for our expert tips and tricks for making this dish at home.

Tips from the EatingWell Test Kitchen

  • Make sure to use all of the real estate on your sheet pan when roasting the chickpeas. Spreading them out evenly will ensure that they get nice and crispy, whereas bunching them up together will likely result in them steaming. 
  • If you are looking for a substitute for halloumi, try paneer, which is another firm cheese.
  • We like the creaminess of whole-milk Greek-style yogurt, but feel free to swap in low-fat or nonfat yogurt to cut back on saturated fat.

Nutrition Notes

  • Chickpeas provide fiber and protein, a combination of nutrients that can help you feel full for longer and support weight loss. The versatile legume also contains folate, a B vitamin that’s necessary for maintaining cell health. 
  • The halloumi cheese in this sheet-pan dinner offers some more protein, in addition to calcium to support healthy bones. Calcium also plays a role in blood circulation and muscle and nerve functions. 
  • Zucchini is a good source of carotenoids, which have been shown to support heart health. Eating foods rich in carotenoids may benefit blood pressure, as well as reduce risk of cardiovascular disease. The carotenoids in zucchini, including lutein and zeaxanthin, may also benefit eye health. 
  • Tomatoes get their red color from lycopene, an antioxidant that may protect against heart disease. Tomatoes also have a high water content, so they help hydrate your body.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander

  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano

  • teaspoons smoked paprika

  • ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper

  • 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added chickpeas, rinsed and patted dry

  • 6 ounces halloumi cheese, cubed (½-inch; about cups)

  • 1 small red onion, cut into 8 wedges

  • 1 medium zucchini, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups)

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes

  • 1 small yellow bell pepper, coarsely chopped (about ½ cup)

  • ¼ teaspoon salt plus teaspoon, divided

  • ¾ cup whole-milk plain strained (Greek-style) yogurt

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint, plus more for garnish

  • 1 medium clove garlic, grated (about ½ teaspoon)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F with a rack in lower third position. Stir 6 tablespoons oil, 2 teaspoons coriander, 2 teaspoons oregano, 1½ teaspoons paprika and ½ teaspoon cracked pepper together in a small bowl. Toss dried chickpeas, cubed halloumi and onion wedges with 1½ tablespoons of the oil mixture on a large rimmed baking sheet until evenly coated; spread in an even layer. Roast until the cheese is browned and the chickpeas are starting to crisp, about 12 minutes. Stir and spread into an even layer.

  2. Combine zucchini pieces, 2 cups tomatoes, chopped bell pepper, and 1½ tablespoons oil mixture in a medium bowl; toss to coat. Spoon evenly over the chickpea mixture on the baking sheet. Roast until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt.

  3. Meanwhile, stir ¾ cup yogurt, 1 tablespoon mint, the grated garlic, 1½ tablespoons oil mixture and the remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt together in a small bowl. Spread the yogurt mixture evenly over 4 plates, then top with the chickpea mixture. Drizzle with the remaining 1½ tablespoons oil mixture. Garnish with additional mint, if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I make this dish vegan?

    It’s easy to make this dish dairy-free! Swap out the halloumi for slabs of extra-firm tofu and use plant-based yogurt or hummus in place of the Greek-style yogurt.

  • Can I use feta cheese instead of halloumi?

    Yes, you can. Like halloumi, a slab of feta won’t melt, but it will be much more delicate, so take care when moving it off of the baking sheet.

  • What other vegetables can I use?

    Any vegetable works well here! Try broccoli florets, cauliflower florets or quartered Brussels sprouts. Firmer vegetables like sweet potato or carrots would be delicious, too, but they may need a longer time to soften, so add them to the pan earlier if you choose those.

  • What should I serve with this sheet-pan halloumi?

    This dish is satisfying on its own, but you could turn it into a grain bowl. Brown rice, quinoa or freekeh would all be great additions.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
