My coffee cup completely missed my mouth this morning and I got coffee down my shirt. So, that’s how today is shaping up. On to these chickpeas. Because they are wonderful, and if it was possible to marry an inanimate object I would marry these chickpeas. If you’re looking at your screen with that Liz-be-tripping-again look on your face, I have only one word to say to you. Okay, I have several. Spicy. Smoky. Crunchy. Or, as I just improperly spelled that last one, CHRUNCHY.
These chickpeas are perfect in every single way. They’re good as a snack. They’re good tossed in a salad. They’d probably be good in some fusion taco, but I didn’t try that and therefore cannot speak to its actual merits. But, THERE ARE SO MANY OPTIONS. I finished the batch and immediately wanted to make a new one. Try these, guys. You will not regret it!
BBQ Roasted Chickpeas
Ingredients
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp onion powder
1 1/2 tsp light brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 can chickpeas, washed and drained
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
Preheat an oven to 425 degrees.
Pat your chickpeas dry. Mix the spices together and set aside. Mix together the chickpeas, oil, and 3/4 of the spice mix. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, toss with a spatula or wooden spoon, and bake for another 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and add more of the spice mixture until you have your desired potency of spiciness.
And, enjoy!
