Roasted Chickpeas

I've tried to make roasted chickpeas a few times before, but they always turned out too soft and/or moist. Today, we tried a new process and they were finally crunchy! These chickpeas are really easy and inexpensive to make. They make a delicious, healthy snack.

First, rinse and drain a can of garbanzo beans.

Spread the beans on a paper towel and pat dry with another paper towel.

Put the beans on a baking sheet and place in the oven at 425 degrees for 10 minutes. Take the sheet out of the oven, shake the pan around to move the chickpeas (be careful not to spill) and bake for another 10 minutes.

In a medium bowl, mix the chickpeas, a teaspoon of olive oil, and the spices of your choice. We used a combination of Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and paprika, taste testing to determine the right amounts of each. Once you reach a desired flavor, put the chickpeas back on the baking sheet and bake for another 5-15 minutes. We took them out after about 12 minutes and they had a perfect crisp.

Let them cool for a few minutes and enjoy!
