Oven Roasted Chickpeas
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!

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.

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
I’m always looking for new ways to prepare salmon, too, and I love the idea of herbed mustard!
this looks so flavorful and juicy! delish 🙂
Jeff doesn’t love salmon, but I bet I could get him to eat it with this topping. Sounds so flavorful!
This looks amazing! I have everything for the sauce already other than the Dijon Mustard. Do you think I can use regular mustard?

It would definitely have a different flavor profile, but I love regular mustard! I think it would be great – let me know what you think of it.
Made this last night! SO good! My boyfriend and i both finished our plates and he declared this recipe as a keeper! Thanks so much for keeping it easy!
