Chickpeas have lots of fibre and protein, making them a healthy snack or side dish. This recipe makes two cups of crispy, tasty chickpeas.
What you need:
- 1 can (540 mililitres) no salt added chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon seasoning of choice (such as pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, etc.)
What you do:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Spread the chickpeas on a clean towel. Fold the towel over and rub gently to dry them. Remove as much skin as you can.
- Pat the chickpeas dry. The drier they are, the crispier they will get.
- Toss the chickpeas in oil and salt in a bowl. Then, spread them on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, shaking the pan every 15 minutes, until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and add seasoning.
- Let them cool. They will get crunchier as they cool. These are best eaten on the same day.
