Notes
- For extra crispy chickpeas, pat them very dry with a kitchen towel before seasoning.
- Adjust the spice blend to your preference; consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for heat.
- Carrots can be substituted with sweet potatoes or parsnips, cut to a similar size.
- This dish pairs well with couscous or warm pita bread.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and reheated in the oven or skillet.
