Wow - this is a terrific way to serve chickpeas! I made half the recipe and wish I'd made more. Loved the crispy and flavorful outside while they were still tender inside. Thanks for sharing a keeper! Made for ZWT9, The Apron String Travelers

What a tasty snack! Or as a side for something grilled. I cut the cayenne just a bit and the spiciness was perfect. Made for Soup-a-Stars ZWT9 zingo

Loved these! They were a little time consuming to make in batches, but there is no other way to do it. I also would recommend sprinkling a little more salt on them after they come out of the pan. These has a great crispy outside with a nice soft inside. Made for The Hot Pink Panthers, ZWT 9
