going to the movies

As far as I know, you have to roast them yourself.

Here's how I do it.  Buy a can of chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans, by the other beans in the grocery store).

Drain and rinse.

Put a towel on a baking sheet, spread the beans on the towel and pat dry.  Remove the towel, drizzle with olive oil (or just spray with cooking spray), stir, and spread out in a single layer.

Bake for about 50 minutes at 400 degrees.  Yeah, they take a while.  Stir three or four times during baking.

Take out of the oven, season however you like, stir, and eat.  Yummy!

I like them with salt and some creole seasoning.  It's kind of spicy.  I've also done them with parmesan and garlic powder, and with cinnamon and splenda.  I like them best right out of the oven.  They don't taste as good to me if I save some for another day.

I'm not a chickpea fan but it actually sounds pretty good, can't wait to try it!

It's a good crunchy salty snack.  Good alternative to chips.

I love making roasted chickpeas and thought about making some tonight too! I never thought about taking to the movies as a replacement for popcorn, thanks for the idea!

Well, the movie was good, and the roasted chickpeas were very good.  I didn't miss the popcorn at all.  I did drink a huge diet Coke (which cost me $4.50!  good thing I wasn't buying popcorn too).

I tried out your roasted chickpea recipe yesterday.  Yum, they turned out well.  I have brought some to work today and I have already warned my coworkers to beware the stink of garlic.  I put lots on as I love it.  Thanks again....  Glad you enjoyed the movie.

I eat movie popcorn too.  I eat a piece or two at a time, very slowly to pace myself. I avoid the buttery topping and I limit the amount I at  total. I am not a sugar dumper but grease and oils send me over the edge.  So I am very careful not to overindulge.
