A low-fat alternative to cocktail nuts, these spicy beans also taste great tossed into salads. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Ingredients
1 sprays olive oil cooking spray
2 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
Spread chickpeas on baking sheet and sprinkle with garlic powder and red pepper; toss to coat.
Roast on bottom rack of oven, shaking pan about every 15 minutes, until browned and slightly crunchy, about 45 to 50 minutes. (The chickpeas will still be somewhat soft. Cook longer for desired texture.) Cool before serving. Yields about 1/2 cup per serving.
