- 1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions

- Prepare the Chickpeas: Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly, then dry them with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Season: In a bowl, combine the dried chickpeas, olive oil, za’atar, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss well to ensure all the chickpeas are evenly coated.
