Instructions:

- Heat a dry skillet over medium heat.

- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not burnt.
- Add the chickpeas to the skillet.
- Sprinkle the rosemary and chili powder over the chickpeas.
- Stir well to coat the chickpeas evenly with the spices and oil.
- Continue to cook the chickpeas for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are heated through and slightly crispy on the outside.
- Add the toasted almonds back into the skillet with the chickpeas.
- Stir to combine and heat for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Transfer the rosemary chickpea and almond mix to a serving bowl.
- Serve warm as a hearty side dish, a topping for salads, or a filling for wraps.
Tips:
- For extra crispy chickpeas, ensure they are well dried before cooking.
- If you prefer a less spicy dish, reduce the amount of chili powder or use a milder chili powder.
- Toast the almonds lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the dish for enhanced flavor.
- Serve this bowl over a bed of quinoa or mixed greens for a more substantial meal.
