- Add the chickpeas to the skillet.
- Sprinkle the rosemary and chili powder over the chickpeas.

- 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.

Tips:

- Toast the almonds lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the dish for enhanced flavor.
