SCRUMPTIOUS SNACKS
ROASTED CHICKPEAS Serves: 1 - 2
INGREDIENTS • 1 can chickpeas • 2 red or brown onions, roughly chopped into wedges • Olive oil • Salt and ground black pepper • Cayenne pepper
METHOD 1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas and spread them out on an oven roasting pan. 2. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper until coated. Note: If you have chilli flakes, zaatar, jaipur masala or any other spices you prefer, you can also add these to your chickpea snack. 3. Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over the seasoned chickpeas, and use a spoon to make sure that they’re all coated. 4. Place the onion wedges on the pan between the chickpeas, and roast in a pre-heated oven at 180˚C for 1 hour. 5. Take the roasting pan out of the oven, and dish up a tasty helping into a bowl. Note: The chickpeas should be crispy and crunchy like popcorn and have lots of flavour! You can eat them as a snack or serve as a side dish. 6. Bon appetit!
