1 tsp olive oil

1 tbsp nutritional yeast

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp smoked paprika

0.25 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then pat them thoroughly dry with a clean kitchen towel to ensure maximum crunch.

• 3

  Cut the chicken breast into small, uniform half-inch cubes to match the size of the chickpeas.

• 4

  In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sea salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and black pepper.

• 5

  Add the chicken and chickpeas to the bowl, tossing until every piece is evenly coated in the spice mixture.

• 6

  Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring no pieces are overlapping.

• 7

  Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the chickpeas are golden and crisp.

• 8

  Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with nutritional yeast and pumpkin seeds while still hot.

• 9

  Let the mix cool for 5 minutes to allow the chickpeas to firm up before serving.
