I know "Roasted Chickpeas" sounds strange, but don't count this post out just yet! I wanted to try this recipe because they looked like corn nuts, and I love corn nuts. Although these do not taste anything like corn nuts, they are strangely tasty. So give them a try!
Roasted Chickpeas:
Recipe from wholeliving.com
Makes about one cup.
1 15 ounce can of Chickpeas rinsed and drained (I used an organic brand-yum!)
1 TB Vegetable oil (I used olive oil, but I'm sure either one would work)
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp coriander
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 425. Toss peas with oil and spices, spread on baking sheet and roast, shaking occasionally until golden and crunchy. (30-40 minutes) Let cool completely and you can store them in an airtight container for 2 weeks. Just an FYI: I didn't have a lot of the spices listed above (and didn't want to run to the store to buy them), so I improvised, I added some cayenne pepper and other spices and they still turned out good, so don't think you need to go buy the spices listed:) Also. I roasted mine for about 30 minutes and some were crunchy but others were still soft- you don't want them to be soft or they'll just taste like beans! So have some patience and keep roasting them!
