I love turmeric, so I was very excited to see that Flavor of the Earth (who I partnered with before when trying out their real Ceylon cinnamon - this is now the only ground cinnamon I use) now sells organic turmeric. I love their cinnamon, so I was super excited to try the turmeric. I use this spice a lot in Indian dishes like Saag Paneer and Chana masala, and one of our favorite cold-weather drinks, spiced turmeric milk. We also use it to make these colorful and delicious turnip pickles. As I've mentioned before, we have tried to incorporate more turmeric into our diet for its health benefits. This turmeric is so fragrant, colorful, and flavorful. You can really smell and taste the freshness of the turmeric.
Roasted chickpeas have been on my to-make list for quite sometime now. I thought the turmeric would go perfectly with them and I was correct. These little chickpeas are nutty, sweet, salty, and have a bit of spice - not to mention the lovely color they pick up from the turmeric (as always, be careful when using turmeric as it will stain). They make a great snack or appetizer before an Indian meal. We ate them with this Chicken & Apple Indian curry.
Turmeric and honey roasted chickpeas
1 can (15.5 oz.) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1-1/2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 heaped teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
dash of cayenne pepper
1-1/2 tablespoons honey
sea salt, for sprinkling
After you have drained and rinsed the chickpeas, set them on a plate lined with paper towels to dry for about 45 minutes. Give them a stir about halfway through the time to help them dry thoroughly.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Gently stir together all the ingredients except the salt in a bowl until combined and the chickpeas are well-coated. Pour them onto the baking sheet and spread them out in an even layer.
Roast on the bottom rack of the oven for about 15 minutes, stirring halfway through. They are done when they turn golden and fragrant. Sprinkle them with sea salt to taste.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Here is some information provided from Flavor of the Earth about their company and their organic turmeric: Flavor Of The Earth is on a mission to provide only the freshest, most flavorful spices that also have positive health benefits for the user. We only source our product from the best growers, usually small growers, to ensure proper care and growing of the product. Then, we always fresh grind our Turmeric in very small "gourmet size" batches and immediately pack it in our Flavor Pouch. This ensures that we capture the best flavor, the most nutritional benefits and the maximum health benefits of the product. We often run out of product available for sale due to this reason. But, we would rather this than have a large quantity of mediocre, stale product sitting on a shelf like most sellers of Turmeric.

ReplyDeleteI love turmeric too. Tasty way to jazz up the chickpeas. I did pin the recipe.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, these sound delicious. Second of all, your photos look awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat healthy snack and tumeric is very warming really good for you as well. I would love to add these to my salad for an extra crunch.
ReplyDeleteOh man, roasted chickpeas have been on my to-do list for a while! These look absolutely delicious, too!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE roasted chickpeas but have never tried the spice combination. I bet the turmeric is fantastic here!
ReplyDeleteChickpeas are one of my favorite snacks.. I just can't get enough! Loving this turmeric taste on these, must have!
ReplyDeleteI made roasted chickpeas once before, but never with tumeric. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI use a lot of turmeric, and your chickpea recipe sounds delicious. I like to add turmeric and black pepper to roasted vegetables both for the flavor and the health benefits.

ReplyDeleteI Pinned and Facebooked, I am already a Liker for both :-). I went to the page. I have a big tub of Turmeric already, otherwise I would have bought a bag. I love Turmeric. I sneak it into Caleb's food and smoothies. I also use it for dying stuff. The yellow turns out so pretty with an earthy look, (and smell) :-)
ReplyDeleteI would make Stuffed Eggplant,Potato Cakes, Chicken & Dumplings- I love lots of turmeric in all of those!

I don't think I've ever used Tumeric, but I've seen so much about it recently I'm looking forward to giving it a try. I think I'll use it in a nice dish of shrimp with curry!

ReplyDeleteI would use the tumeric in food, probably to make vegetables more interesting. I'd also like to try it as a face mask, as suggested on the Amazon page. Thanks for the giveaway! :)

ReplyDeleteI didn't know turmeric had such interesting health properties! I would probably try it first on roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes or roasted vegetables.
ReplyDeletelakergirl2113@yahoo.com
I would like to take it and sprinkle it over hot popcorn. I'd also like to try it with yellow beans from Peru and add some garlic and onion.
ReplyDeleteI've actually never tried turmeric before, so I think I'd start out by using it to make the chickpea recipe you have above!
