INGREDIENTS

    • 1 15-ounce can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
    • 2 teaspoons of spice mixture (a curry, Morrocan, or Mexican spice mixture works well)

    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

    2. Drain and rinse chickpeas in a colander. Pat dry.

    3. Toss chickpeas in a medium-sized bowl with olive oil, sea salt, and spices.

    4. Arrange chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer.

    5. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until crispy. While baking, shake pan or stir chickpeas to avoid burning.
