Well, it’s been quite a roller coaster year and a half, and there have been many changes in my life! One of them was that I veered off the Vegan track, which is something I’m not very proud of… However, I am happy to say that I am back with a vengeance and excited to start blogging my favourite animal-friendly recipes once again!
Warning: These babies are addictive!! I’ve probably made them at least once a week for the last year and just can’t get enough of their crispy deliciousness. They are not only amazing on their own as a snack (think of it as protein popcorn!), but I also love sprinkling them over salads, or popping them in wraps along with some spinach, hummus, tomato and avocado (or whatever else your veggie heart desires) – yumm yumm…The spices are a rough guide, so you can add whatever you find in your spice rack and think will taste good; but I’m a huge cumin fan and wouldn’t think about leaving out the paprika either. Sometimes I have a lemon & herb spice that I like to add too, but like I said – whatever floats your herb boat!
Ingredients:
1 can of Chickpeas, drained and rinsed
generous splash of Olive Oil
about 1 tsp each of Paprika, Cumin & Cajun spice (or a favourite blend of your own)
sprinkle of Sea Salt
Method:
- Preheat oven to 200C/400F and prepare a tray with foil.
– Dab the drained Chickpeas with a paper towel until dry and spread onto the tray.
– Drizzle Chickpeas with Olive Oil and then sprinkle with Spices & Sea Salt, tossing until evenly distributed (it will get a bit messy if you’re using your hands).
– Place tray in the oven and roast +- 30 mins or until Chickpeas are golden and crispy. Allow to cool completely before storing, if you’re not eating them right away (like that’s gonna happen!).
*Chuck into a salad or a wrap, if you haven’t already eaten them all straight out of the oven…
We are addicted to these too!
I can’t wait to try these. I’ve been addicted to chickpeas. I travel alot for my job and can’t wait to take these tid bits on the road. Thank you so much!
Yummm! A tasty dish! I am not a vegan but do cook & bake & eat vegan 5X/ week! Come on over & check me out!

Thanks

I too make a variation of these — and they really are addictive! And one other thing–I am addicted to buying new vegan cookbooks and have almost all of the same ones you do. I love your blog!
