Roasted Chickpeas

[Guest guest]

Hi Paula,

 

Here's a Delicious TV chickpea snack recipe that we love. My partner's

variation on it is: Instead of the 2-3 T olive oil, lightly spray the

chickpeas with olive oil, sprinkle them with cayenne and salt, mix

them up, and put them in the oven at 425 for about 25 minutes with

anywhere from 0 to 4 whole garlic cloves. Savory crunchy goodness in a

hurry, oh my

*Roasted Chickpeas with Garlic and Sage*

 

2 Cups ( or 15 ½ oz can) chickpeas, rinsed and drained

2-3 T olive oil

3 +cloves garlic, whole not peeled (optional 2-3 cloves minced)

3-4 sage leaves

Salt and pepper

 

Heat oven to 425.

 

In a cast iron skillet, heat the oil. Add the chickpeas and the garlic,

and sauté for about a minute or two. Be sure the beans are well coated,

then add the sage and remove from the stove. Place the pan into the

oven, and give the pan a shake every so often. Cook until the chickpeas

begin to turn brown, this takes about 15-20 minutes or so. Remove from

the oven and set aside to cool a bit.

 

At this point you can sprinkle with a little additional olive oil or

your favorite spice. For example chipotle pepper or powder, curry, cumin

basically whatever you like. I usually just stick with a little kosher

salt. A tiny squeeze of fresh lemon is nice addition.

 

Alternatively, you can skip heating the oil and chickpeas and combine

all the ingredients in a bowl before roasting.
