Introduction
When chickpeas are roasted they turn into a crunchy, nutty snack that is high in fiber and low in fat. I have found that the best roasted chickpeas result from dry-roasting, with the olive oil added after they are taken out of the oven.

Ingredients
-
3 15-oz cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and/or other seasonings to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Drain chickpeas and rinse them well. Blot them dry with a paper towel and spread them on 2 cookie sheets.
Roast the chickpeas for 30-45 minutes. You will want to take them out and give the pans a shake once or twice during roasting. Toward the end of roasting, keep a close eye on the chickpeas, as they can burn quickly.
The chickpeas are done roasting when they are golden-brown and crunchy.
Toss the chickpeas in the olive oil, and season to taste with your favorite combination of herbs and/or spices. I like them seasoned very simply with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
These will keep for several days if you store them in an airtight container.
