Welcome back to What’s Cookin’ Wednesday! I’m constantly on the lookout for healthy, easy snacks. I know how hard it can be to eat healthy while chasing after your kids. The key is planning ahead. You can make this recipe ahead of time and place in a container or individual ziplock baggies from which you can just grab and go!
I don’t think anything gets easier than this next recipe!
Spicy Roasted Chickpeas by Noble Pig
Adapted from Best Holiday Appetizers
- 2 15-ounce cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
- lime wedges for garnish (optional)
Rinse chickpeas in a colander. Drain them well, shaking the colander to remove as much water as possible. It’s okay to take out a bit of aggression on the peas, they won’t mind.
In a medium sized bowl, combine rinsed chickpeas, olive oil, salt and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chickpeas. Spread the chickpeas out on a foil lined baking sheet, one large enough to hold chickpeas in a single layer.
Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes or until chickpeas begin to brown, shaking pan twice during baking.
Remove chickpeas from the oven. In a small bowl, combine chili powder and ground red pepper. Place the mixture in a small sieve to sprinkle over the cooked chickpeas. Bake another 5 minutes or until a dark, golden-red.
