WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Here's what you need to make this recipe:

*Chickpeas: cooked chickpeas, canned is perfectly fine.

*Oil: extra virgin olive oil helps the chickpeas to get crispy.  

*Turmeric powder or spice of your choice (garlic, onion, cumin or chili powder).

*Thyme: I added a teaspoon of dried thyme for extra kick.

TIPS

Here are some tips to consider:

*Make sure you drain and dry chickpeas really well with a kitchen towel. They’ll be crisper if you dry them before roasting.

*Getting rid of the skin of the chickpea can also help with crispiness.

*Some people swear to add flavours after roasting, as they might burn.

*Be generous with oil, as it helps with crispiness.

*Eat immediately as the crispiness won’t last forever!

*These roasted chickpeas can be frozen but they will lose from their texture after defrosting.
