This vibrant vegan snack combines protein-rich roasted chickpeas with buttery pistachios for a satisfying crunch. Infused with earthy cumin, aromatic fresh thyme and a gentle hit of cayenne pepper, these spicy toasted chickpeas offer a sophisticated balance of flavours. They are a fantastic alternative to traditional crisps or nuts, providing a savoury, fibre-packed nibble that works beautifully alongside a cold drink or as a textured topping for salads and soups.

Quick to assemble using tinned cupboard staples, this healthy homemade snack can be prepared in advance, making it ideal for stress-free entertaining. The contrast between the crisp legumes and the toasted nuts ensures every handful is packed with variety. While they are at their absolute best served warm from the oven, they remain wonderfully moreish once cooled to room temperature.
