Tips

Leftovers or extra portions can be kept very well in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

The longer you leave them, the more they will lose their crunchiness, so put them in the oven before eating them to crisp them back up!

If you have no Moroccan seasoning or prefer a different flavour, just use your favourite spice. Some great alternatives are curry powder, chilli powder, or provencal dried herbs. Or... if you like to keep things simple, just use the good ol' salt and pepper combo.

For a crispier texture (and a more intense flavour) add extra virgin olive oil. Of course, keeping in mind this will alter the calories stated on the nutritional info below.
