Ingredients

Instructions

  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Spread them out on paper towels (or a clean kitchen towel) to absorb excess water. Be sure to pat them as needed to ensure they are thoroughly dry.
  • Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chickpeas, toss to coat, and spread them out in a single layer. Let them cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring only occasionally, until they start to whistle and get slightly brown.
  • Stir in the spices until they coat the chickpeas. Cook for another few minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned to your liking.
  • Remove from heat. Enjoy as a snack, salad or soup topping, or added to other recipes.

  • Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature on the kitchen counter. Reheat in a skillet for a few minutes.
