olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil provides a healthier fat option while vegetable oil is more budget-friendly.

Soak chickpeas in water overnight or for at least 8 hours.

Drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion and bell pepper; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add chickpeas to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables.

Season with cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until chickpeas are golden and crispy, about 10-15 minutes.

Add bay leaves and a splash of water to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.

Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.

Remove from heat and squeeze lime juice over the chickpeas.

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
