Crispy Spiced Chickpeas

Crispy chickpeas coated with warm Mediterranean spices perfect for snacking! Add some flavor and texture to your entrée by sprinkles them on top.

Ingredients:

• 1 can of chickpeas rinsed and dried off with a kitchen towel.

• 2 tsp avocado or olive oil.

• 1 tsp ground tumeric.

• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika.

• 1 tsp Lebanon Seven Spices (allspice, pepper, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, galangal).

• 1/2 tsp salt.

• 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper.

Method:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.

• Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. You can skip this step if you don’t mind cleaning a very messy sheet pan.

• Combine oil, spices and chickpeas in a medium bowl.

• Toss chickpeas in oil and spices until fully coated.

• Spread on sheet pan so there is a little space in between the chickpeas.

• Bake for about 30 minutes, toss the chickpeas around half way through the cooking process to make sure they get fully crispy.

• Enjoy hot right out of the oven for peak crispiness. As they cool they start to get a little chewy and still delicious!

Enjoy!
