Poet Kelly-could you give me the recipe for your roasted chickpeas?
Buy a can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans). 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
