- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup uncooked white quinoa
Instructions
- Whisk together the spices in a small bowl.
- Pat the chickpeas dry with a paper towel and remove and skins that may have fallen off. Put them in a large resealable plastic bag with 1 teaspoon of oil and shake until coated. Add in spice mixture and shake again.
