Chickpea crunchies

By nancytripp

Ingredients

• 2 cans chickpeas beans
• 2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder"
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp crushed dried rosemary

Preparation

Step 1

    1.    Preheat oven to 425.
    2.    Pour the beans into a colander, and rinse very well under running water. Pat dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible. (They are fragile though, compared to chickpeas, so be gentle.)
    3.    Place beans in a bowl, add oil, garlic, salt and rosemary and toss to coat.
    4.    Spread on a cookie sheet in a single layer and bake for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 400. Bake for another 25-30 minutes or until crunchy.
The beans will split open and look kind of “exploded”, but you get awesomely crunchy, flavorful snacky stuff that surpasses any storebought processed junk – and for less than $1 a batch! Do your body a favor, roast up some beans for a high fiber, low glycemic snack that will satisfy your craving for crunch and help you toward your health goals. Crunch on, my friends!
