March Madness Snack
My husband is watching basketball today and asked me for a snack. Not much in the house snack-wise, I whipped up a batch of these tasty roasted chick peas. They were super simple to make. I just used a can of chick peas and spices I have on hand. Very tasty…if not slightly addictive. He ate them all. Quickly. Added bonus: chick peas are healthy…they’re a great source of fiber, protein, minerals and folic acid.
Satisfy your taste for crunch with salty or sweet flavors. I made two different versions….honey and cinnamon and savory salt and cumin.
Here’s how I made them:
Savory:
- 15 ounce can of chick peas
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
Sweet:
- 15 ounce can of chick peas
- 1-2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rinse 2 cans chickpeas under water using a strainer. Dry off chick peas with a paper towel. In separate bowls, add 1 can of chickpeas. For each batch, whisk together the oil or honey with the remaining ingredients. Pour into bowls and evenly coat the chickpeas with each mixture. Place chickpeas on a baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes or until no longer soft in the middle. Let cool and eat!
Have you ever made roasted chick peas? Do you like them better sweet or savory?
