Spiced chickpeas.....Mood = Nibbles

I love snacking on things, and most of the time it ends up being something naughty. But i have recently discovered these gorgeous crunchy spiced chickpeas that are super easy to make and taste divine. If you like wasabi peas, or the idea of wasabi peas, then this is something for you to make. You can change up the spices every time you make this so as not to get bored. I used hot spices and it worked a treat.

This calls for dried chickpeas that you have to soak over night. I have a problem with canned food, so i steer away from it. But if you don't have dried chickpeas, by all means use tinned.

Recipe:

300g dried chickpeas
Salt
Cayenne pepper
Smoked paprika
Olive oil
Cumin powder
Parchment paper

Method:

• Soak your chickpeas overnight

• The next day, rinse them to get all the starch off and place them on a baking tray.

• Sprinkle your chickpeas with your selected spices and add oil and salt.

• Place the chickpeas in a hot oven around 200 degrees for about 35-40 minutes turning over every 15 minutes.

• Let them cool down when they have finished to allow them time to harden and become crunchy.

• Store in an air tight container.

Eat when peckish or when you just want to have something tasty at your fingertips....

Just divine!
