Ingredients

(15-oz) can chickpeas, drained and well-rinsed
1
olive oil
1 tbsp
za'atar
2 tsp
smoked paprika
1 tsp
fine sea salt (adjust to taste)
1/2 tsp
black pepper
1/4 tsp
lemon wedge (for finishing)
1
chopped fresh parsley or a pinch of sumac (optional)
1 tbsp

Steps

1.Pat chickpeas very dry with a towel or paper towel to remove surface moisture.
2.In a bowl or on a piece of heavy-duty foil, toss chickpeas with olive oil, za'atar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3.Spread chickpeas in a single layer in a cast-iron skillet or fold into a flat foil packet sealed on the edges.
4.Place skillet or packet over medium-hot embers or a camp grill; cook 18–25 minutes, stirring or shaking every 5 minutes so they brown evenly.
5.Watch for skins to blister and pop; remove from heat when most chickpeas are crisp and golden.
6.Squeeze lemon over chickpeas, sprinkle parsley or sumac if using, let cool 3–5 minutes, then serve.
