For spices, you are free to use what you like best and what you have in your cupboards. You can definitely add chili or even fresh herbs for more flavor. You can then eat these grilled chickpeas as an aperitif in a hot or cold version, but not only that.

It is in fact possible to use them as decoration on homemade hummus to give it more crunch or even to sprinkle them on your Lebanese or Oriental-inspired dishes for a touch of originality. We also love adding them as a topping to a nice mixed salad or even slipping them into a homemade sandwich at lunchtime.

In terms of storage, roasted chickpeas can be stored for up to a week in a clean, airtight glass jar.
