Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons za’atar
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 cups cooked chickpeas or 2 cans, 15 oz each, drained and rinsed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or foil.
  • Mix the ingredients by combining za’atar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Toss in the chickpeas and stir until evenly coated.
  • Bake until crispy by spreading the chickpeas in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 45 to 60 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until they turn golden brown and crunchy.
  • Cool and store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week.

Notes

  • To make the chickpeas even crispier, pat them dry before mixing with seasonings.
  • Adjust the seasoning to taste—try a pinch of cayenne for spice or smoked paprika for a deeper, smoky flavor.
  • This recipe is naturally plant-based and DASH diet-approved, making it a great low-sodium, high-fiber snack for heart health.
