- 2 x 400g cans of chickpea, drained
- 30 mL olive oil
- 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

- Remove tray from oven, scraping all chickpeas off base with a scraper, roast for another 10 minutes until chickpeas begin to crisp up.
- Check when ready by pressing a chickpea with a fork- they need to be slighly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Dont let them go brown.
- While chickpeas are roasting, prepare the dressing by combining all remaining ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
- Remove chickpeas from oven and transfer roasted chickpeas to the bowl and carefully toss through the mixture until well coated.
