Let's Cook

Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 160°C/320°F/gas mark 2 and line a baking sheet with non-stick baking parchment.
-
Step 2.
Drain the 400g can of chickpeas and dry them thoroughly with a dish towel, removing as much moisture as possible.
-
Step 3.
In a bowl, combine the drained chickpeas with 1 tbsp tomato purée, 2 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil, 1 tbsp panch phoron spice mix, 1 tsp salt, and a pinch of sugar. Mix really well until the chickpeas are evenly coated.
-
Step 4.
Tumble the spiced chickpeas onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 30–35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the chickpeas are crispy and golden.
-
Step 5.
Remove from the oven and let the chickpeas cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
