Roast for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Notes

The garlic that is roasted with the Pulses® chickpeas is mainly to help infuse the garlic flavor into the chickpeas. They taste amazing in the pita as well, but are optional. Fresh shrimp would work well too. Simply pat dry, add a little avocado oil to a small skillet and fry the shrimp approximately 1-2 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Sprinkle with sea salt.

Refrigerate left overs.
