Ingredients:

1/2 tsp red pepper (spice)
0.90g
1 tsp coriander leaves
1g
3/4 tsp ground cumin
1.58g
15 oz chickpeas
430g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C, or gas mark 6).
2. Prepare the Chickpeas:
- Open the can of chickpeas and pour them into a strainer or colander.
- Rinse the chickpeas under cold running water to remove any brine.
- Shake the strainer to get rid of excess water and spread the chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Pat the chickpeas dry gently but thoroughly to ensure they roast well.
3. Season the Chickpeas:
- Transfer the dried chickpeas to a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the chickpeas and toss to coat them evenly.
- Add in the 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper, 3/4 teaspoon of ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon of dried coriander leaves.
- Season with a dash of salt to taste.
- Toss the chickpeas again to ensure all the spices and oil are evenly distributed.
4. Roast the Chickpeas:
- Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or non-stick foil.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
5. Roasting Time:
- Roast the chickpeas for 25 to 35 minutes, stirring or shaking the pan halfway through the cooking time to ensure an even roast.
- The chickpeas should be golden brown and crunchy when they are done. Keep a close eye on them towards the end of the cooking time to prevent burning.
6. Cool and Serve:
- Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chickpeas cool for a few minutes. The chickpeas will continue to crisp up as they cool.
- Serve warm or at room temperature as a snack, salad topping, or side dish.

Tips:

- Rinse and dry the chickpeas thoroughly before roasting to ensure they become crispy.

- To enhance the flavor, let the chickpeas marinate in the spices for a few minutes before roasting.

- Spread the chickpeas out in a single layer on the baking sheet to allow for even cooking.

- Stir the chickpeas halfway through the roasting time to ensure they cook evenly on all sides.

- Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them crispy.

Enjoy your roasted chickpeas with coriander and cumin as a crunchy, flavorful snack or toss them into your favorite dishes for an extra burst of flavor. They are perfect for meal prep and can be stored for several days, maintaining their crispiness.
