Spiced Baked Chickpeas

By catgirl

Ingredients

• 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and dried
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon cumin, ground
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• pinch fine sea salt

Preparation

Step 1

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F.

Toss the chickpeas, oil, lemon juice, cumin, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl. Spread the mixture in a 9 by 13-inch baking dish.

Bake, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are lightly browned, 30 to 40 minutes.

Season to taste with the salt while the chickpeas are still warm, and let them cool completely. (The chickpeas can be covered and refrigerated for up to 5 days.)



Makes 4 to 6 servings.
