Classic Roasted Chickpeas
Chickpeas are an excellent source of fibre, iron and some protein!
Snack on these instead of that bag of chips for a better taste and an even better nutritional value. Because of the fibre content in these little guys, they will make you fuller longer too.
They are also very flexible to different flavours, so have fun and be creative!
Ingredients:
-
1 15oz. can Chick peas
-
2 tbsp. Olive oil
-
¾ tsp. Chili powder

¼ tsp. Paprika
-
¼ tsp. Garlic powder
-
¼ tsp. Black pepper
-
¼ tsp. Salt
-
¼ tsp. Cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions
-
Drain, rinse and dry chickpeas.
- If the chickpeas are not dry they won’t bake
properly. I used paper towel. -
Spread on oil sprayed pan and bake at 400F for about 40-45 min stirring them every 10 min.
-
After 40min test it. They should be crunchy and there should be no softness to them
-
Put chickpeas in a bowl and stir in all your ingredients.
