makes about 2 cups
2 15-ounce cans chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
freshly ground black pepper
fine sea salt
2 teaspoons ground sumac berries (or your favorite spice(s))
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Place on a towel and lightly pat dry. Remove and discard any skins that rub off. Place the chickpeas on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss (or use your clean fingers) to coat evenly with the oil.
3. Roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until golden brown.
4. Remove from the oven and season with salt, pepper, and ground sumac (or your favorite spice combination).
