Spicy Roasted Chickpeas

recipe and image from here

A friend makes these all the time, so I thought I'd give them a try.

I put half the amount of cayenne as I don't like things really hot.

They turned out just so so. Maybe more cayenne, or 

maybe I'll try one of the other chickpea recipes on this blog!

Spicy Roasted Chickpeas

1 (15-oz.) can chickpeas
1-1/2 t. extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 t. kosher salt
1/2 t. paprika
1/4 t. cayenne pepper
1/4 t. cumin
1/2 t. garlic powder

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Drain and rinse chickpeas and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the spices and the olive oil. Toss the chickpeas in the spice mixture and spread the seasoned chickpeas over a lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes and then remove the pan from the oven. Use a spatula to toss the chickpeas, then replace the pan and cook for another 15-20 minutes or until browned (but not burned) and crispy. Allow to cool. Snack away.
