Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Removing as much moisture as possible will help them roast better.
- In a large bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, almonds, and olive oil. Toss them well to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil.
- Add the ground cumin, salt, and chopped rosemary to the bowl. Mix thoroughly so that the spices and herbs are evenly distributed over the chickpeas and almonds.
- Spread the seasoned chickpeas and almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Make sure they're not overcrowded to ensure even roasting.
6. Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking. The chickpeas should be crispy and the almonds should be golden brown.
- Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the mixture cool completely on the baking sheet. The chickpeas and almonds will continue to crisp up as they cool.
8. Store:
- Once fully cooled, store the roasted chickpeas and almonds in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to a week.
