Shawarma Spiced Chickpeas

Spiced chickpeas are a great addition to any salad, vegetarian entree or simply as a snack! We've kicked up ours a notch by using our Crazy Good Shawarma Mix. Prepare a few batches and keep them in your fridge. You'll thank us for it!

Do you have a go to recipe that your family just devours instantly?

For me, if I had to pick one, it would be spiced chickpeas. My 18-year-old son inhales them. I don't even get the chance to use them on any other dishes. They don't even make it out of the pan! Bonus for me, it's a super simple and nutritious recipe, so I guess I shouldn't complain...

I make many variations of them, but these are probably the most popular in my house. Our homemade shawarma spice mix ( a combination of sweet paprika, allspice, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, garlic & onion powder, ground ginger, and Aleppo pepper) really adds a deep, wonderful flavor that keeps you coming back for more.

1. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet, over medium heat. Add the shawarma spice mix and cook for one minute, stirring constantly
2. Add the chickpeas and salt and toss well to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes and add the cilantro or parsley. Serve warm or cold

I like to prepare a few batches to use as an on-the-go snack, or to add to:

- Salads

- Soups

- Any recipe that calls for chickpeas!
