Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can of chick peas
  • 1 tablespoon of avocado or another oil that can cook at high temperature
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Sheet pan
  • Standard oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. Drain chickpeas
  3. Pat with paper towels and let dry. It is important that the chickpeas dry before cooking or else you will steam them when you go to roast them.
  4. Toss chickpeas with the oil and cumin powder.
  5. Lay evenly on a baking sheet. I like to line my baking sheet with foil to avoid mess.

  6. Put pan in middle of preheated oven and cook for thirty to forty minutes. Shake to turn halfway through cooking.
  7. Let cool and chickpeas will continue to crisp.

Notes

Serve over salad or as a snack.  Chick peas are best eaten day of preparation.  If refrigerated they may soften.  You can also vary the spices.  Curry powder or smoked paprika are also delicious spices to try.
