Roasted Spicy Chickpeas
These chickpeas can be eaten as a flavourful protein-packed snack or as a side to a meal. Chickpeas are high in dietary fibre and are a helpful source of zinc, protein, calcium, and folate.
Ingredients:
| Canned chickpeas, unsalted/drained | 12 oz. | 340 g |
| Salt | 1 tsp | 6 g |
| Garlic powder | 3 tsp | 9 g |
| Cayenne pepper | 2 tsp | 4 g |
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425 °F.
- Blot chickpeas with a paper towel to dry them and spread out over a baking sheet. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until golden brown and crunchy. Watch the chickpeas don’t burn as baking time varies in different ovens.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the warm chickpeas in the garlic salt and cayenne pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- Seal extras chickpeas in an airtight container as a quick, accessible snack when you’re on the go.
