Instructions
- Pat the rinsed @[Chickpeas] dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel — this is the key to getting them crispy. In a small #[Mixing Bowl], combine the @[Smoked Paprika], @[Cumin], @[Salt], @[Black Pepper], and @[Red Pepper Flakes] (if using). Set aside.
- Heat ~[2 tablespoons] of @[Extra-Virgin Olive Oil] in a large #[Skillet] over ^[medium-high heat]. Add the diced @[Baby Potatoes] in a single layer and cook undisturbed for ~[5 minutes] until golden on the bottom. Stir and continue cooking for another ~[5–6 minutes], stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork-tender and crispy on the edges. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Add the remaining ~[1 tablespoon] of @[Extra-Virgin Olive Oil] to the same #[Skillet]. Add the diced @[Yellow Onion] and @[Red Bell Pepper] and sauté over ^[medium heat] for ~[4–5 minutes] until softened. Add the @[Garlic] and cook for ~[1 minute] more until fragrant. Add the @[Chickpeas] and sprinkle the spice blend over everything. Stir well to coat and cook for ~[4–5 minutes], pressing the chickpeas lightly with the #[Spatula] occasionally to help them crisp up.
- Return the cooked @[Baby Potatoes] to the #[Skillet] and toss everything together. Cook for ~[2 more minutes] to meld the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional @[Salt] and @[Black Pepper] as needed.
- Remove from heat and scatter fresh @[Italian Flat-Leaf Parsley] over the top. Serve immediately with @[Lemon] wedges on the side for a bright, fresh finish.
