Crunchy Roast Chickpeas (Channa)

February 1, 2015 by Staff Writer

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.
