For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of smoked paprika to the marinade. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional sea salt or lemon juice as needed. If using as a hummus base, reserve some of the marinade to add to the blender for a smoother consistency and enhanced flavor. Serve chilled or at room temperature. These chickpeas are delicious on their own, as part of an antipasto platter, or as a topping for salads and grain bowls.
