Instructions
- Mix the berbere spice mix really well. Preferably also add 1/8 tsp ground ajwain(carom seeds) and ground kalonji (nigella seeds). I know lots of spices :).
- Drain the chickpeas and transfer them to a bowl. Add to the bowl, all of the berbere spice blend or 1 to 1.5 tbsp pre-made blend. You can also use 1 to 1.5 tbsp pre-made shawarma blend or garam masala
- Add garlic, onion, salt, and olive oil to the chickpeas and toss well to coat. set aside. Make the tahini sauce, and thin it out to your preference.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F / 220ºc. Shape the pizza crust. Spread the crust to about 14-inch size to make a thin crust large pizza. Brush with olive oil. Place sliced tomatoes on top. Add the spiced chickpeas in a single layer. (You can also add some greens or pepper as toppings).
- Place sliced onions on top. Drizzle some of the tahini garlic sauce. Bake for 18 minutes.
- Garnish with cilantro or parsley. Drizzle some more tahini sauce, slice, and serve. You can also use vegan ranch, vegan mozzarella (add before baking) or other creamy dressing, or just lemon juice to dress.
Notes
You can easily make this baked on a large tortilla for a tortilla pizza or roll it up into a wrap. Cook the spiced chickpeas on a stovetop or bake until crisp and use with veggies, lettuce, and tahini dressing.
