Roasted Chick peas

I am a huge fan of chickpeas in salads and stuff but they can also be a really great snack :)

You can roast them in the oven with just about any seasonings you want and thy get golden brown and crispy and are the perfect snack that's good for you and packed with protien.

Like I said, you can mix and match seasonings and try out new combinations.

My recipe is as follows:

Can of chick peas drained and patted dry with a paper towel.
Put them in a bowl along with:
2 tbs of extra virin olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cracked black pepper
1 tsp kosher salt
(salt and pepper doesnt have to be exact, I just throw it on there)
and I also put just the smallest pinch of cayenne (only if you want a little heat)

Roast in a 425 degree oven for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
If you try one they shouldnt be soft anymore they should have a crunch to them!

let cool completely before storing or they will get soft again from the heat.

enjoy!
