Roasted Chickpeas

 

1/2 cup already cooked and rinsed chickpeas

1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

juice from 1/8th of a lemon

salt

pepper

garlic powder

cumin powder

cilantro flakes

tsp sugar or 1/2 Splenda packet

 

Pre-heat oven to 425 degees. In a bowl, coat the chickpeas with the

lemon juice and olive oil. Sprinkle the above spices on the chickpeas

or use your own combination. Place chickpeas on a baking sheet in a

single layer. Cook for about 30 minutes, turning every few minutes.

(Since they're chickpeas and round, you can just shake the pan to get

them to roll.) Remove from the oven, salt them again, and let cool

for about 5 minutes.

 

These are great as a salad topping and a crunchy substitution for

croutons. Great as a snack too.
