Roast chickpeas are an awesome healthy snack–that are quick and easy to make.
Drain 2 cans of chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinse them and pat dry.
They will taste better if you skin them; here’s an easy technique from America’s Test Kitchen on skinning chickpeas. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, spread the chickpeas, and put in the oven for 15 minutes. Pull the chickpeas out of the oven.
Mix the spices and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a mixing bowl. Toss chickpeas until coated.
Put beans back on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 30 more minutes. Check periodically to make sure that the beans do not burn.
When the chickpeas are crunchy, let them cool and put them in an air-tight container.
