Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F Coat a cookie sheet with cooking spray.

Heat a small pan over medium-high heat. Add oil, spices and salt and stir until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes.

Place chickpeas in a large bowl. Add spice mixture and mix well to coat chickpeas.

Place chickpeas on cookie sheet in a single layer and roast in oven until crunchy, checking and shaking pan twice during cooking, about 1 1/4 hours. Yields about 1/2 cup per serving. (Store any leftovers in an air-tight container.).
