Oven Roasted Chickpeas

Tuesday, February 1, 2011

I’ve seen this snack pop up on quite a few blogs recently. Hubby and I love chickpeas, so snacking on them sounded delicious. Since first making these, I’ve made them two more times. I love playing with the flavors used to spice them.

These would be a great addition to your Superbowl spread! Speaking of which, be sure to check my sidebar for some of my Superbowl favorites!

One Year Ago: Chocolate Overdose Cake with Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Oven Roasted Chickpeas

Ingredients:

1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400.

Drain canned chickpeas and rinse in a colander under running water. Pat chickpeas dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible. Transfer to large mixing bowl. Add oil; sprinkle with spices/seasonings and salt. Stir to coat.

Spread chickpeas on nonstick rimmed baking sheet; bake 20 minutes. Stir; then roast 10-15 minutes longer, checking frequently, until crisp but not burnt. (Cooking times may vary). Allow to cool before eating. Will keep several days refrigerated in a covered container.
