Place chickpeas on an oven tray, drizzle over a little olive oil, and roast for about 20 minutes or until browned.

Meanwhile, combine onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt and pepper. Sprinkle over cooked chickpeas and toss to combine.

Heat a pan over medium heat, toss corn in olive oil, salt and pepper, and cook until lightly charred.
