Hi Zhills! Do the chickpeas come out crunchy and served as an appetizer? Or are they served as a side dish? Thanks.

They come out crunchy like chips for a snack. I have directions for several flavors of these. I really enjoy them. Hope you do!

[vabreeze]

Thanks. Seems lke a HEALTHY snack, too! Definitely will be making them later this evening-- watching the Packers-Lions game right now. Would you share the other flavors when you have the time? Thanks again.

These sound divine! Can you post the recipe? It doesn't come up in a search.

Garlicky Parmesan & Rosemary Roasted Chickpeas

Ingredients:
2 (14.5 Oz.) Cans Chickpeas/Garbanzo Beans, drained, rinsed & dried
2 Tbsp. Shredded Dry Parmesan
1 Tsp. Dried Crushed Rosemary
1 Garlic Clove, Minced
1/8 Tsp. Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to Taste

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with foil. Give the foil a light spritz of some non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

Toss the chickpeas and the rest of the ingredients together in a large bowl until they are all well and evenly coated.
Arrange the garbanzo beans onto the baking sheet in a single layer and give them a little spritz of non-stick cooking spray.
Place the sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the chickpeas are crisp.
Carefully remove the sheet from the oven and set aside to cook slightly before serving.

Here are some others ...

X Spicy Oven-Roasted Chickpeas
about 2 cups

1 15 ounce can organic chickpeas
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 tablespoon chunky sea salt
2 teaspoons spice like garam masala

Heat the oven 400°F. Pour the chickpeas into a colander and drain and rinse very well under running water. Pat dry.

Toss the chickpeas with the olive oil and spread out on a large cookie sheet. Roast for 30-40 minutes or until brown and crispy. Turn and stir every ten minutes so they don't burn.

Take out and toss to taste with salt and spices.

Thanks for all the chickpea ideas, Zhills! I love them. As an FYI, I've sautéed them, drain on paper towel, then tossed in spices. Combine w/ salad greens (or arugula), tomato & chopped cukes. Drizzle with tzatziki or tahini dressing and stuff a pita - kind of a faux falafel sandwich.

TY again!

These sound interesting - good for protein I'm guessing.

Thanks!
