    This protein, folate, calcium, mineral and vitamin rich legume is ideal for a healthy, low fat, quick snack. Perfect for vegetarians.

    Ingredients

    • 2 (15 ozs) can chickpeas or garbanzo beans
    • 2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 tsp garlic salt
    • 1 tsp paprika
    • Pinch of cayenne pepper or chipotle (or to taste)
    • Pinch of sea salt
    • For variation, try adding one of more of these spices:
    • 1/4 tsp turmeric (Optional)
    • 1/4 tsp curry powder (Optional)
    • Pinch of cumin (Optional)

    Directions

    1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F. Rinse and drain the chickpeas and pat dry in a clean kitchen towel. Place in a large bowl. Add the spices and mix or toss gently so you do not break the delicate chickpeas. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread them out in a single layer. Bake until golden and crisp about 30 to 35 minutes. Shake the tray after 15 minutes to crips uniformly. When ready, transfer to a serving bowl. Maybe eaten hot, warm or cold.

      They didn't get crunchy... tried cooking longer and a little better.

        Hi! Kathy,

        This chickpea snack should have a dry, crisp and spicy outer skin and be softer inside. Next time, try pre-heating your oven to 425 degrees and cooking them for 25-30 minutes. Thanks for your feedback.
