Spiced Chickpea & Halloumi Bites

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, toss the drained and rinsed chickpeas with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chickpeas are crispy and lightly browned. Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.

While the chickpeas are baking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the halloumi cubes and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly softened.

Remove the chickpeas from the oven and let them cool slightly.

In a serving bowl, combine the crispy chickpeas and cooked halloumi cubes. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss gently.

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
