Za’atar Spiced Chickpeas

Serves: 8, ~½ cup each

Za’atar (zaah-tur) is a spice blend inspired by a Middle Eastern plant of the same name. The blend I used contains thyme, sesame seed, sumac, oregano, marjoram, coriander, chili pepper, cumin, and sesame oil.

Ingredients

2 15.5oz cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 teaspoons Za’atar

¼ teaspoon chili powder, optional

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Combine all ingredients on a sheet pan and use a spatula to evenly coat the chickpeas with the other ingredients. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the chickpeas are browned, dry, and crunchy.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Recipe Makeovers

There are some recipes we make the same way every time. Traditional family recipes, like Mom’s chicken or Grandma’s cookies, must be followed to create the desired result. Other recipes have more flexibility. Many recipes we come across while scrolling social media can be tweaked to be made more nutritious without compromising the recipe’s integrity. With this in mind, we can start with almost any recipe and still end up with something that sounds good and is more nutrient-dense.
