Ingredients
- 4garlic cloves
- 2tablespoons dried oregano
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- ¼cup red wine vinegar
- ¼cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1(14-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and patted dry
- 5ounces salami (casing removed if there is one), cut into ½-inch pieces
- 1red onion, peeled, halved lengthwise and cut into ½-inch wedges
- 1medium head radicchio (about ¾ pound), quartered lengthwise
- 1cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 8pepperoncini peppers
- ½cup ricotta
- Crusty bread, for serving
Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Coarsely chop the garlic, then add the dried oregano and 2 teaspoons salt on top of the garlic and chop together until it forms a paste. Transfer to a bowl, then stir in the vinegar and olive oil.
- Step 2
Pour half the dressing into a large bowl, then add the chickpeas, salami, red onion, radicchio, tomatoes and pepperoncini. Mix gently to coat in the dressing, trying not to break up the radicchio and red onions, then spread evenly on a baking sheet. Roast, tossing halfway through, until the red onions and chickpeas are golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Step 3
Season the ricotta with salt and pepper. Serve the roasted mixture with crusty bread, with a dollop of ricotta and extra vinaigrette, or assemble into sandwiches.

tear up the good bread and toss in a bowl with the rest, viola, a sub-salad!
I ended up substituting chicken thighs for salami - just because the folks eating it do not eat salami. My notoriously picky husband declared this to be the best thing I’ve made in a while. Will add to the regular rotation!
Split into two sheet pans to avoid overcrowding. It took a little longer to get crispy than suggested in the recipe, but the flavors together were delicious. I added the hot mixture to toasted sub rolls and broiled with provolone. Added a little mayo and jarred Italian hot pepper relish to the sandwiches. Ali Slagle totally gets me.
A friend made this for our annual cabin trip we take with 6 friends, two babies, and four dogs. We make dinners plant-based for the two vegetarians in our crew, so my friend omitted the salami in this recipe. Would also recommend these other changes she made: -Skip the radicchio and substitute with crunchy shredded lettuce. The radicchio cooks faster than everything else on the pan, running the risk of burning, and the end result isn’t quite worth it even when it does work. -Absolutely use pre-sliced pepperoncini from the jar. Nobody wants a full pepperoncini! Nobody! -Switch the roasting onion to a yellow onion, then dice 1/4 or 1/2 small red onion and add to the vinaigrette.
I use halloumi, cooked in the sheet pan, instead of the ricotta, and serve with a good baguette
We don’t like radicchio. So I’ve substituted Crimini mushroom halves. A real winner!
