  • 2 tsp. ground cumin, divided
  • 4 shallots, thinly sliced
  • 1  tsp. red pepper flakes

Preheat oven to 425 °F. Pat chickpeas dry with a paper towel. Toss peas, olive oil, salt and 1 tsp. cumin in a jelly roll pan. Bake for 25 minutes. Add shallots and toss with peas. Bake 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until peas are crisp but still tender.
