Spicy Roasted Chickpeas



















Spicy Roasted Chickpeas


Ingredients:

1 can of Chickpeas, drained and rinsed. (I drained and blotted dry with a paper towel)
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of Olive Oil
1/4 teaspoon of Salt (Any more and may be to salty)
1 teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper
1 teaspoon of Cumin

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Place chickpeas on baking/cookie sheet. (I used a silpat on my cookie sheet so nothing would stick) Roast for 10 minutes.

Take out of oven, shake or move chickpeas around with wooden spoon. Continue to cook for another 10 minutes.

In at least a medium sized bowl, combine the chickpeas, oil, and spices. Toss or stir until the chickpeas are coated in the mixture.

Put chickpeas back on baking/cookie sheet. (Don't worry about extra mixture in the bowl that did not stick to the chickpeas)

Cook for 5 to 15 additional minutes, until the chickpeas are golden and crunchy. (I checked my chickpeas every five minutes and found that I used the entire 15 minutes, may need less or more time depending on the make of your oven).

Enjoy!
