When roasted, chickpeas take on the flavour and texture of nuts,

making them a fun snack at only 76 Kcals and 1g fat per serving.

• Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan/Gas 4 and line a baking tray

with baking paper.

• Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly and use paper towels to

dry them off as much as possible.

• Toss the chickpeas with olive oil until all the chickpeas are well coated.

• Spread the chickpeas out in an even layer on the baking tray.

• Roast the chickpeas in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring them

every 10 minutes. A few chickpeas may pop – that’s normal. The

chickpeas are done when golden and slightly darkened, dry and crispy

on the outside, and soft in the middle.

• Toss the chickpeas with the spices and stir to coat evenly.

• Serve while the chickpeas are still warm and crispy. They will gradually

lose their crispiness as they cool, becoming addictively chewy.
