Notes

OTHER FLAVOUR IDEAS: Why not try replacing the curry powder with

Italian Mixed Dried Herbs (eg oregano, basil and rosemary) (2tsp)
Sumac (2 tsp)
Smoked Paprika (2 tsp)
Honey and Cinnamon (replace olive oil with coconut or vegetable oil and mix with 3/4 tsp of ground cinnamon. In the last 5 mins of cooking, remove from the oven, place in a bowl and toss in 1 tbsp of honey. Return to the baking tray and bake for the remaining time)

BABIES/TODDLERS: Whole chickpeas can pose a choking hazard to babies and young toddlers but if you would still like to try this snack with your tot you can chop the chickpeas before roasting them.

LEFTOVERS: Cover and store at room temperature for 2-3 days. Do not refrigerate as this causes the chickpeas to become soft and chewy.
