Ingredients
Method
- Pat the chickpeas very dry with a towel and remove loose skins.
- Spread on a tray lined with baking paper.
- Roast at 200°C (400°F) for 35 to 40 minutes, shaking twice, until crunchy.
- Toss with the spices, salt and zest while hot.
Tip. They crisp up as they cool. Keep them in an open jar so they stay crunchy.
Fasting customs differ between churches and parishes. When in doubt, follow what your priest gives you. Not sure what today allows? Check the Orthodox calendar.
