in Recipes, Snack Crunchy spiced chickpeas
How many ways can we enjoy these Crunchy spiced chickpeas? We've lost count! Our favorite flavors are za'atar seasoning for a Middle Eastern feel or smoky chipotle spices for a Mexican touch. But if you like things plain and simple, they're just as delicious with a sprinkling of Himalayan salt. These cheeky chickpeas make great substitutes for salad croutons and a tasty low carb snack.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then pat them dry. The drier they are, the crunchier they will be.
- Spread them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Toss with olive oil and sprinkle with za’atar seasoning or another seasoning of your choice.
- Roast for 30 minutes, stirring halfway. Remove from the oven when crunchy and sprinkle with salt while still hot.
Tip
Za'atar is a traditional Middle Eastern spice blend with herby, lemony notes. If you don't have it, you can make a substitute by combining the following: 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, and 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest.
