Serving Suggestions

Note

• Don’t crowd the chickpeas on the tray. If they’re too crowded, they won’t roast dry and go crunchy; if you haven’t got a tray big enough, use two but you may need to cook for a little longer.
• Feel free to include your own herb or spice combos – cumin, paprika, oregano, dried chilli or cayenne pepper. Just stir it through with the oil.
