Ingredients
  

For the Chickpeas
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed Canned chickpeas for convenience.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon shawarma spice blend
  • to taste salt and pepper Adjust according to preference.
For the Wraps
  • 4 wraps or pita breads
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • to taste tahini sauce or garlic sauce for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, shawarma spice blend, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Spread the seasoned chickpeas onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Stir halfway through for even cooking.
Assembly
  1. While the chickpeas are roasting, prep your fresh veggies. Once the chickpeas are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  2. Take a wrap or pita bread and layer it with a handful of lettuce, a few spoonfuls of roasted chickpeas, diced tomatoes, and cucumbers. Drizzle with tahini sauce or garlic sauce.
  3. Roll it up, and your delicious Crispy Chickpea Shawarma Wrap is ready to be devoured!

Notes

If you don’t have canned chickpeas, use dried ones but soak and cook them beforehand for optimal texture. Overcooking can lead to hard chickpeas; aim for golden brown. Adjust the amount of shawarma spice for heat. These wraps can also be made with lettuce leaves for a low-carb option. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
