Ingredients
  • (1) Can of chick peas
  • (2) tsp of extra virgin olive oil
  • Whatever seasoning you desire
  • I used the following
  • Ranch version:
  • (1) Tbs of ranch seasoning
  • Smoked Paprika & Garlic version:
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp cumin
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • Dash of cayenne pepper or more if desired
Instructions
  1. Drain and rinse chickpeas with water.
  2. Place on paper towels and cover with additional paper towels. Be sure to get the chickpeas dry. I pat and roll the chickpeas to get them dry. You may loosen the skins of some of the chickpeas and that is just fine, you can either quickly pull them out or include them when baking for extra crunchy pieces.
  3. Mix olive oil and seasoning in a bowl stir in chick peas until well coated.
  4. Place chick peas on a lined baking sheet (foil or parchment paper work best)
  5. Bake in oven at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove pan and give it a good shake to toss the chickpeas.
  6. Place back in oven and cook for an additional 20 minutes or so.
  7. If you want them extra crunchy cook them longer but be sure to keep an eye on them so they do not burn.
  8. Place in a serving dish & enjoy!
  9. The beauty of these are you can season them any way you like. You could try chili-lime, cinnamon-sugar, General Tso…the possibilities are endless.
