Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Divide the potatoes and shallots between two 10-inch cast-iron skillets. Evenly drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until the potatoes are cooked through, about 25 minutes.
- For the chickpeas: Lay the chickpeas out on a flat surface and dry them as much as you can using paper towels. In a small bowl, stir together the coriander, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until shimmering. Line a large plate with paper towels. Working in two batches, add the chickpeas to the skillet so they are in a single layer and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chickpeas to the prepared plate and add the spice mixture. Toss everything together until combined; this helps to bloom the spices while the chickpeas are still warm.
- Garnish the potatoes in the skillets with the chickpeas and finish with the mint.
