Chef's Tips

For the crispiest chickpeas, ensure they are completely dry before adding the oil and spices. You can use a paper towel to pat them thoroughly after rinsing.
↔

Easy Substitutions

If you cannot find labneh, use full-fat Greek yogurt mixed with a pinch of salt to achieve a similar creamy texture. Toasted almonds or walnuts work well if pine nuts are unavailable.

Storage & Reheating

Store the roasted chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Keep the labneh refrigerated, and assemble the bowls fresh when ready to eat for the best texture.
