Roasted Chickpeas
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked chickpeas, drained well and blotted dry
1/2 teasp ground black pepper
1/2 teasp ground cumin
1/2 teasp ground coriander
1/4 teasp cayenne pepper
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees C (400 F)
Put spices and chickpeas in a bag and shake.
Spread the chickpeas onto a non-stick baking sheet in one layer.
Bake for about an hour or until crunchy.
Cool and store in an airtight container.
Notes:
* Note that no oil is used in this recipe. Every other recipe I've seen
uses oil with the spices. The only reason I can think of for this is to
get the spices to stick - but if the chickpeas are slightly damp then it
works perfectly without the fat.
* You can use canned chickpeas for this, just wash and drain them first.
* Use any spices that you like, those listed above a just one tasty
combination. A friend suggested tossing chickpeas in honey then baking - I
haven't tried this yet, but sounds interesting - honey and ginger maybe?
