Roasted Chickpeas

A long time ago I went to a restaurant with some friends and had these spicy, roasted chickpeas and they were SO good! I looked for a recipe to try and found a good one that I adapted slightly. The original recipe called for ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper- which may not sound like a lot- and really isn’t if you love spice- but my husband and I thought they might be just a tad too spicy for our tastes. I decided to take that amount down to ¼ teaspoon. I also want to be able to give my 1 year old son some of these next time around and I think the spice might be a little much for him. Either way- these are so good and a great appetizer or side to a meal.

I am thinking about all of the variations you could do with these chickpeas and getting really excited! Can’t wait to experiment more and share them with you.

This recipe is so simple..start with rinsing and draining the chickpeas and setting them in a large mixing bowl
