Chi-chi-chi-Chickpeas!

My family has a LOVE for snacks!  We needed something tasty yet healthy,  and well there are only so many carrots you can eat before you want to kick Bugs Bunny!


Roasted Chickpeas


1. Oven temp 425 F

2. We used Chickpeas or also know as Garbanzo beans in a can. Drain the can and rinse the beans.

3. Next we removed the skins by carefully rolling between fingers. Skins slide off nicely, (so creepy by the way).



4. Then spread out on paper towel and lightly blot to dry.



5. Place in bowl and lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray. Here is the fun part..... add whatever seasoning you want and add a lot. Our first batch we were careful about putting to much seasoning on and well talk about a big mistake. Boring!!!! So add some and then add more! We used cumin, paprika, and garlic powder.



6. Spread beans out in baking pan lined with parchment paper, and bake for 15 minutes. Shake pan and bake for 15 more mins. At this point check to see if the beans are crunchy, if not bake for a little bit more, checking often...........Peter!!!!! :) You want the chickpeas to be crunchy not soft also not burnt.........Peter!!!!!



7. Enjoy this yummy treat but beware, the crunch will NOT last for more than a day, so eat then QUICK! I learned the hard way! Its hard to spit a mushy chickpea out the window going 70 mph, thanks Peter that was yummy......no.
