If you like spicy side dishes, we have an easy to make dish that will make your mouth water. That’s what’s cooking as we grab a Bite With Belkys.

Ingredients:

1 15 oz. can of chickpeas, drained, rinsed and dried

1 small garlic clove, minced or microplaned

1/2 cup plain yogurt

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. smoked paprika

1/2 tsp. cumin

1/2 tsp. garam masala

Pinch of red pepper flakes

4 tbsp. olive oil

Handful of chopped fresh mint, oregano, basil, parsley or a mix

Method of Preparation:

  • Spread the chickpeas out in a single layer on paper towels and roll around to pat dry.   
  • Stir together garlic and yogurt in a bowl. Add a dollop on a plate and spread it with the back of a spoon.
  • Heat four tbsp. olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chickpeas and cook until golden and crispy, about 10 minutes. 
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chickpeas to paper towels to drain. Toss them in a bowl with cumin, paprika, garlic powder, garam masala and red pepper flakes.
  • Add chickpeas on top of yogurt and sprinkle with fresh herbs. 
  • Serve warm with bread.

 Enjoy!
