Ingredients

• Chickpeas - 1 cup (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
• Pita Bread - 2 pieces
• Olive Oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Place the pita bread on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until crispy.
3. In a skillet over medium heat, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
