Dousing the chickpeas in the za’atar oil after crisping ensures that they absorb some of that flavor without burning the spices during the crisping process. I tend to use these chickpeas more as a garnish than a full serving of protein, generally allowing for about ¼ cup [50 g] per person. I also like to cut the summer squash both in rounds and lengthwise for contrast in look and mouthfeel. This dish is a hearty salad and would go well with any sort of grilled meat.
