Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chickpeas dry with a kitchen towel.
Toss chickpeas with olive oil, paprika, cayenne, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread on baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes until golden and crispy.
Meanwhile, chop cucumber, tomatoes, and onion.
In a bowl, combine roasted chickpeas with chopped veggies. Drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with fresh herbs.
Serve warm or chilled. Perfect for lunch or a light dinner.

Notes

Dry chickpeas well before roasting for extra crispiness. Toast spices briefly in a dry pan before mixing for deeper flavor. Use fresh herbs, parsley or cilantro, for brightness. Add seeds for crunch or quinoa for a heartier version.
