Do you like crunchy chickpeas? I love roasting all of my canned beans because it drys out the slimy texture and offers a more satisfying crunch. This seasoning I roast my chickpeas with is the jam and offers a flavorful addition to any salad, bowl or protein packed snack.
Ingredients:
1 can organic chickpeas (or you can soak and boil your chick peas from scratch ~ 2 cups cooked chickpeas)
1 tablespoon Zaatar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
Salt & pepper to taste
Directions:
Heat the oven or toaster oven to 400F
Open the can of chickpeas and rinse a few times in a colander so get the slim off. Gentle shake dry or pat with a paper towel
In a bowl, combine seasoning and toss with the chickpeas. Smell the spices come alive and uses your senses to see if you want to add more or less seasoning. Do you want to try to add a different spice? Follow your instincts!
Place chickpeas on parchment paper or a tray and roast for about 20 minutes until they dry out and have a light crunch to them.
Serve as a great protein option or snack mindfully with them!
