(from largomason’s recipe box)

Ingredients

  • 2 15-oz cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2/3 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1/3 Tbsp salt
  • 1/3 Tbsp paprika
  • 1/3 Tbsp sugar

  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (more if you want more spice)

Directions

  1. eheat oven to 400.

  2. Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then roll them around slightly on a paper towel to help them dry off a bit…it just helps the seasoning stick that much better if they’re dry.

  3. Toss them in a large bowl with the oil.

  4. Combine the spice mixture and sprinkle over the chickpeas. Toss to combine well.

  5. Pour the chickpeas onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  7. Let cool completely at room temperature before putting in storage.
