1. Preheat  oven to 400F

2. Toss the chickpeas in oil, garlic, chipotle powder, cayenne and paprika.

3. Spread them onto a lightly oiled Xtrema skillet 10- or 12-inch work great!) and season generously with salt and pepper.

4. Roast the chickpeas for 35-40 minutes, or until they're golden brown and  crispy. Stir a few times during roasting to prevent any sticking to bottom of your skillet.

CHICKPEA TURMERIC SOUP

  1. Heat olive oil over medium heat in Xtrema sauce pan ( I used 3.5 court) Add garlic, crushed coriander seeds, ginger, turmeric, and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until nice and fragrant. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add carrot and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally for no sticking. 
  2. Next, add your potato, chickpeas, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat and then turn heat down to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are fork tender and soft about 15- 20 minutes.
  3. Use a blender ( we used Vitamix) to purée the soup until creamy and smooth.
  4. Stir in coconut milk and lemon juice. If needed, adjust the consistency and texture with more water... just a little at a time. 
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning, don’t forget your crispy chickpeas are packed with flavor! 
  6. Serve hot with crispy spiced chickpeas and a garnish of lemon juice, fresh chopped parsley, and black pepper for some extra punch. Enjoy!!
