Preheat and prep
Cutting Board

1/2 cup kalamata olives
1 Count lemon

Combine the bake
Measuring Cups
Measuring Spoons
Mixing spoon
9-by-13-inch baking dish

In the baking dish, combine the chickpeas, orzo, crushed tomatoes, red onion, garlic, olive oil, vegetable broth, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until the orzo is evenly submerged.

2 cans chickpeas
1 cup orzo
1 can tomatoes
1 Count red onion
4 Count garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
3
Bake covered
Oven mitts
Aluminum foil
9-by-13-inch baking dish

Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 25 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the orzo is partly tender.

Use oven mitts when handling the hot baking dish.

4
Bake uncovered
Oven mitts
Aluminum foil
Mixing spoon
9-by-13-inch baking dish

Remove the foil, stir the bake well, then return it to the oven uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, until the orzo is tender and the sauce is thickened but still saucy.

Open the foil away from your face to avoid steam burns.

Use oven mitts when moving the hot baking dish.

5
Finish with spinach, olives, and lemon
Mixing spoon

Stir in the baby spinach, Kalamata olives, lemon zest, and lemon juice until the spinach is wilted and evenly mixed through.

5 ounces spinach
1/2 cup kalamata olives
1 Count lemon
6
Rest and serve

Let the bake rest for 5 minutes before serving so the orzo can finish absorbing sauce and the portions hold together.
