Roasted almonds and chickpeas with cumin salt

Roasted almonds and chickpeas with cumin salt is a healthy and delicious snack, perfect for any occasion. Combining the nutty flavors of almonds with the subtle earthiness of chickpeas, this recipe is enhanced by the bold notes of cumin and rosemary. It’s an easy-to-make treat that is both nutritious and flavorful.

Ingredients:

1/3 can canned chickpeas
130g
1/4 cup olive oil
60g
1 cup almonds
120g
1 tsp ground cumin
5g
1 tsp salt
5g
1 tbsp rosemary
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Chickpeas:
- 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.
3. Mix with Olive Oil:
- In a large bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, almonds, and olive oil. Toss them well to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil.
4. Season the Mixture:
- 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.
5. Roasting:
- 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.
7. Cool and Serve:
- 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.

Enjoy your delicious and crunchy roasted almonds and chickpeas with cumin salt as a healthy snack!

Tips:

- Ensure that the chickpeas are well-dried after rinsing to achieve maximum crispiness.

- You can add a bit of garlic powder for extra flavor.

- Stir the mixture halfway through baking to ensure even roasting.

- Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their crunchiness.

- Experiment by adding other spices like paprika or cayenne pepper for a bit of heat.

With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can prepare a scrumptious snack that is both tasty and good for you. Roasted almonds and chickpeas with cumin salt make for a versatile addition to any meal plan, suitable for parties, or just as a wholesome everyday snack. Enjoy the perfect blend of crunchy texture and rich seasoning in every bite!
