Roasted chickpeas tossed in salt and sumac make a healthy and easy snack. This application is inspired by a curiously crunchable concoction called "leblebi" found in the region around Corum in Turkey. The traditional recipe is slightly time-consuming, but luckily, there's a faster and easier way to make these craveable roasted chickpeas. This recipe first appeared in EveryDayCook.
