Ingredients

Chickpeas

  • 8 oz chickpeas canned, rinsed, drained, and patted dry
  • 1 ½ tsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp sea salt black pepper, and paprika
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • tsp ground coriander
  • tsp ground cinnamon

Sauce

  • cup hummus
  • 1 ½ tsp lemon juice fresh squeezed preferred
  • ½ tsp dried dill or sub 2-3 tsp fresh
  • ½ clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp almond milk unsweetened

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF and line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.

  • Spread the chickpeas on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, or until slightly crispy and golden brown. Once slightly cooled, sample and adjust seasonings as desired
