By lkoss

Ingredients

• 1 (12 ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt (optional)
• 1/4 tsp garlic salt (optional)
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

2. Blot chickpeas with a paper towel to dry them. In a bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil, and season to taste with salt, garlic salt, and cayenne pepper, if using. Spread on a baking sheet, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until browned and crunchy. Watch carefully the last few minutes to avoid burning.
