Here’s how you can make it:

Ingredients:

For the Guacamole

• 3 ripe avocados
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste

For the Roasted Chickpeas:

• 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Roast the Chickpeas:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Pat the chickpeas dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
• In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and salt until evenly coated.
• Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Roast for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden and crispy. Let them cool.

2. Prepare the Guacamole:

• Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until you reach your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).
• Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the mashed avocado. Mix gently.
• Stir in the lime juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
• Optionally, fold in chopped fresh cilantro.

Tips:

• Customization: Feel free to experiment with additional toppings or mix-ins like diced red bell pepper, corn, or even a sprinkle of feta cheese.
• Storage: Guacamole is best served fresh. If you need to store it, keep it in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent browning. The roasted chickpeas should be stored separately and added just before serving to maintain their crunch.

This combination of creamy guacamole and crunchy roasted chickpeas creates a delightful texture contrast and adds a new dimension to your traditional guacamole dip.
