Falafel-Spiced Chickpeas and Potatoes
Falafel-Spiced Chickpeas and Potatoes
Ingredients:
2 (15 oz) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 large russet potato, cubed
¼ cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, sliced
1½ tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Prepare the Potatoes: Cube the russet potato into bite-sized pieces. Spread them evenly on the baking sheet.
Season: In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Add Chickpeas and Garlic: Add the chickpeas and sliced garlic to the same bowl, then toss them with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, making sure everything is evenly coated with the seasonings.
Roast: Spread the chickpeas, garlic, and potatoes evenly on the baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, and the chickpeas are crispy, tossing halfway through for even cooking.
Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve with lemon wedges for a fresh pop of flavor.
