Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will give your chickpeas that lovely crispiness.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss them well until all the chickpeas are nicely coated.
- 3
Spread the seasoned chickpeas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy. Give them a stir halfway through for even cooking.
- 4
While the chickpeas are baking, prepare your wraps! Lay out the tortillas and layer them with fresh veggies like cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce.
- 5
Once the chickpeas are done, let them cool for a couple of minutes, then spoon them onto the wraps.
- 6
Drizzle tahini and lemon juice over the chickpeas for that zesty flavor, and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
- 7
Wrap them up snugly, slice in half if you like, and enjoy your crispy, flavorful shawarma wraps!
