Ingredients
For the chickpeas:
- 2 15-oz cans chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Shawarma Spice Blend:
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For assembly:
- 4 flour tortillas or pitas warmed
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 small red onion thinly sliced
- 1 medium avocado sliced
Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- If making homemade spice blend, combine all spice blend ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine.
- Pat chickpeas dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. In a large bowl, combine chickpeas with 1 tablespoon shawarma spice blend. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until evenly coated.
- Spread chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until golden and lightly crisped, 20 to 22 minutes, stirring once halfway through. For extra crispness, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end (watch carefully).
- Divide chickpeas among warm tortillas. Top with Greek yogurt, red onion, and avocado slices. Serve immediately.
Notes
- To make spice blend: Combine all Shawarma Spice Blend ingredients in a small bowl before adding to the chickpeas in Step 2.
- Shawarma spice blends vary; adjust salt to taste after roasting.
- Roasted chickpeas are best served immediately to retain crispness.
- Leftovers can be used in bowls with rice, greens, and pickled vegetables for an easy second-day lunch.
