This crunchy high-protein snack is a nice change from nuts and chips. I sometimes toss a few in my salad, too. For a spicy version, sprinkle crushed red pepper or ground cayenne on the chickpeas.

  • 112 cups cooked or 1 (15.5-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Salt.

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the chickpeas and oil.
  • Toss to coat. Spread the chickpeas in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan and sprinkle with salt to taste.
  • Roast until the chickpeas are crisp and browned, about 30 minutes.
  • Cool completely before serving.
  • These are best eaten on the day they are made but, once cooled, they can be covered and stored at room temperature for 2 to 3 days.
