• 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to about 205°C (200°C).
2. 2Open the can of about 425 g canned chickpeas, then pour them into a colander to rinse and drain. Gently pat the rinsed chickpeas completely dry with a paper towel; this helps them get crispy.
3. 3In a medium bowl, combine the dried chickpeas with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of za'atar spice blend, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss everything together until the chickpeas are evenly coated.
4. 4Spread the coated chickpeas in a single, even layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not piled on top of each other so they can roast properly.
5. 5Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30 minutes. About halfway through the cooking time, carefully shake the baking sheet to turn the chickpeas and ensure they cook evenly. They are done when they are golden brown and feel crispy to the touch.
