MARINATED CHICKPEAS
A lovely and refreshing salad or appetizer, better if it's allowed to sit and marinate a few days. You can also pop it in a blender for quick and tasty hummus.

MARINATED CHICKPEAS
These marinated chickpeas are great on their own, but even better for bulking up salads into a full meal. Because the chickpeas soak in vinaigrette, there's typically no need to add any extra dressing when you combine them with other vegetables; they come with enough seasoning to flavor everything. Combine a cup of the dressed chickpeas with a cup of cooked whole grains (such as farro, barley, wheat berries or quinoa), a half cup of shredded carrots, a handful of minced fresh parsley, a pinch of cumin, plus some cayenne or harissa for heat. You could also stir together equal parts marinated chickpeas and diced fresh cucumber with some slivered red onions and chopped fresh dill, or massage some chopped kale with olive oil and a pinch of salt, then toss in a big scoop of marinated chickpeas and some crumbled feta or Cotija.

Tips:
- Use dried chickpeas: Dried chickpeas are more flavorful and have a better texture than canned chickpeas. If you're using canned chickpeas, be sure to rinse them well before using.
- Soak the chickpeas overnight: Soaking the chickpeas overnight will help them to cook more evenly and quickly. If you don't have time to soak them overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the chickpeas their flavor, so be sure to use a flavorful one. The recipe in the article uses a marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and paprika. You can also add other spices and herbs to taste.
- Marinate the chickpeas for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the chickpeas, the more flavorful they will be. If you're short on time, you can marinate them for as little as 30 minutes, but for best results, marinate them for at least 2 hours.
- Roast the chickpeas until they are crispy: Roasting the chickpeas will give them a crispy texture and help to bring out their flavor. Roast them at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Conclusion:
Libyan marinated chickpeas are a delicious and flavorful snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a batch of Libyan marinated chickpeas that your family and friends will love.
