Roasted Chickpeas

I started really liking these when I came to Turkey and thought I would try to make them in the states. They make a great snack and are a wonderful and healthy alternative to chips.These are also loaded with vitamins inluding iron and fiber.

• Ready In: 32 mins
• Serves: 2-3

Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons olive oil
• 2  cups canned chick-peas
•  paprika
•  salt
•  black pepper (freshly ground is best)
•  chili powder

Directions

1. Preaheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Drain and rinse chic peas.
3. Place chic peas in a large bowl and add the olive oil.
4. Stir well ensuring that all the chic peas are evenly coated.
5. Sprinkle Paprika, black pepper,salt, and chili powder on the chic peas and mix. You can use as much or as little as you like. I am always more liberal with the paprika, and less liberal with the chili powder.
6. Place chic peas on a large baking pan covered with aluminum foil.
7. Bake in the oven for 22 minutes. *Note: Cooking times may vary as everyone's ovens are different so be sure to keep an eye on them.
8. Serve right away. They are best served immediately after baking as they tend to lose their crispiness over time. Enjoy!
