Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Tbsp olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced or pressed
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ¼ tsp chili flakes
- 2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas
- 1 (6oz-180 grams) large potato, diced

- salt & black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Mince or press the garlic and dice the potato into evenly sized pieces. Drain the canned chickpeas, rinsing if desired. Measure the herbs and spices.
