Ingredients

  • 2 cups chickpeas dried and rolled between paper towels to remove moisture
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon chili powder I use 1 tablespoon of regular chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of chipotle/ancho
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a pan, then add onion and garlic and cook on medium heat until browned.
  2. Add all the spices to the onions and garlic, mixing to coat the aromatics. (if you’re making this mix to use on meats or fish, add the tomato paste here).
  3. Add the chickpeas and toss to coat.
  4. Cook on medium heat until chickpeas become dry and color darkens. While cooking, shake the pan every 3-4 minutes, to ensure that the chickpeas are evenly cooked and spices aren’t burning.
