    If you've never had oven roasted chickpeas before, then you are really missing out! With a Turkish spice blend and a dash of olive oil for extra crispiness, these spicy roasted chickpeas are a true delight! While incredibly delicious on their own (they make a great healthy snack), they also make a divine accompaniment to this coconut ginger rice, and are never not delicious with a garlic sauce.

    Instructions

    Rice

    • Combine all Coconut Ginger Rice ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, turn to low & simmer until done (in this case, the rice I used took 40 minutes).

    Spicy Turkish Roasted Chickpeas

    • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
    • Combine cooked, rinsed, drained chickpeas (that have been patted dry) in a bowl with oil & spices. Toss to coat.
    • Place chickpeas on a parchment lined cookie sheet & bake for 30 minutes, or until desired crispiness is achieved, giving the pan a shake halfway through.

    Garlic Yogurt Drizzle

    • Whisk all of the above ingredients together until smooth. Drizzle with a small spoon, or serve as a dipping sauce accompaniment.
    • Top off your bowl with a sprinkle of dried or fresh cilantro, then dig in!
    • Enjoy!
