Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:

- Measure out the almonds, olive oil, rosemary, and chili powder.
2. Toast the Almonds:

- Remove the almonds from the skillet and set aside.

- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not burnt.
4. Combine Ingredients:
- 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.
5. Cook Chickpeas:
- Continue to cook the chickpeas for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are heated through and slightly crispy on the outside.
6. Add Almonds:
- 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.
7. Serve:
- Transfer the rosemary-chili 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.
