Ingredients
- 1 (400g) can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1½ tbsp creamy peanut butter
- ½ tbsp soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free option)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ⅓ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp turmeric
- ½ tsp mixed dried herbs
Instructions
- Set your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread the rinsed chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel and pat them completely dry. Remove any loose skins for better texture.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame seeds, olive oil and spices.
- Transfer the chickpeas to a mixing bowl and pour the peanut butter sauce over them. Toss until evenly coated.
- Spread the coated chickpeas back onto the baking sheet. Roast for 15-20, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Let the chickpeas cool completely on the baking sheet. They’ll become crunchier as they cool. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
