Adapted from Just Hungry. Ingredients:
6 cups of cooked chickpeas |
4 garlic cloves |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
1 -2 teaspoon dried red chili pepper flakes |
1 teaspoon black onion seeds |
1 teaspoon whole cumin seed |
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds |
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom |
1 limes, juice of, small or 1/2 lemon |
sea salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F
2. Peel and chop the garlic cloves rather coarsely.
3. Toss all the ingredients together thoroughly. Spread evenly over a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring around midway through. Take out and let cool. [Edit: this baking time turns out peas that are a mix of crunchy ones and ones that are still a bit soft - I like this variety.
4. Since all ovens vary, you will need to test the doneness. If you like your peas to be a bit soft, bake them for a shorter time; if you like them very crunchy leave them in longer.].
5. Store this in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Makes a great beer snack.
6. You can make it sweet-spicy by sprinkling over some brown or raw sugar to while it's still hot from the oven.
