Ingredients
Scale
Cajun Seasoning
- 2 tsp. hot Himalayan paprika
- 2 tsp. garlic powder
- 2 tsp. onion powder
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 2 tsp. thyme
- 1 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1 tsp. crushed red pepper
- 1 tsp. parsley
Cajun Chickpeas
- 15 oz. dried chickpeas
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- 2 1/2 tbsp. Cajun spice blend
- 2 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Soak chickpeas in a bowl for 12-24 hours with 2 tbsp. of coarse sea salt.
- Refrigerate while soaking and change the water out and add additional salt halfway through.
- Once chickpeas have soaked, dry them on paper towels and pat dry.
- Transfer to a large mixing bowl and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- While the oven is preheating, measure and mix together all of the seasonings to make the Cajun spice mix.
- Once mixed, place the Cajun mix and salt in the large mixing bowl with the chickpeas.
- Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the chickpeas in the bowl and mix the chickpeas, Cajun spices, and oil together until the chickpeas are fully coated.
- Transfer to a large baking sheet and place in the oven for 40 minutes on convection bake once the oven is at temperature.
- Remove from oven once complete and place in a bowl to serve.
Notes
- Ensure chickpeas are soaking in double the amount of water it takes to cover the chickpeas. For example, if it takes two cups of water to cover the chickpeas so all are submerged under water, add four cups of water.
- Time saver – substitute 1-2 cans of chickpeas for dried chickpeas.
