Roasted Chickpeas


Recipe adapted from: http://www.fitsugar.com/Roasted-Garbanzo-Beans-Chickpeas-Recipe-9136958

These are really good and really easy to make for a snack. The recipe is for 1 15 oz can of chickpeas but you could get the larger can and easily double it.

Ingredients:
1 can (~15 oz) garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tsp other spice mixture

What I used for the spice mixture: 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 1/2 tsp curry masala spice mix, and a few strong shakes of cayenne pepper

(I'll update this as I try new spices)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 F. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Pat the chickpeas dry with a paper towel - if they are too wet, they won't get crunchy in the oven. In a bowl, mix chickpeas with oil, salt and spice mixture. Mix to coat well. Pour chickpeas onto a roasting dish and roast in the oven for 30 minutes. Be sure to shake the pan occasionally so they do not stick.

Any smaller chickpeas should be very crunchy. Slightly larger ones may not be as crunchy, but they are very good anyway.
