Spicy Roasted Chick Peas
I recently saw a recipe on Yummy Chunklet a another great food blog for roasted chick peas and loved it in fact its quite popular in the food blogging world at present. Since I have been not cooking a lot of Indian food lately. I figured this would be an easy way to make a spicy snack for hubby. I roasted 1/2 spicy and 1/2 with just sea salt and cumin. This is a great recipe the only tricky part is taking the skins of the chick peas.
Ingredients:
- 1 can chickpeas
- 1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- Generous sprinkling of cayenne pepper to taste
- 1 tsp. cumin
- about 1/4 cup of freshly chopped cilantro
Method:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas, dry chick peas with a paper towel and remove the skins.
- Add chick peas to a big baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil roast for 15 minutes
- Remove from oven and shake the chickpeas, and roast for another 15 minutes until golden brown.
- Finally take the chick peas out of the oven and mix in the salt, cilantro, cumin and cayenne pepper, an Indian masala powder would also work well
- roast another few minutes and they are done
The day I made this hubby came home from work and eat all of them in one sitting and happily said it was great to eat something spicy, I plan to make some more for him this week :-)
Like I said, chickpeas/garbazo beans are MY favorite!
ReplyDeleteAgreed. These are fun treats. Supposedly, they're fun with cinnamon and sugar too. It sounds weird, but maybe it's worth a try.
ReplyDeleteLove garbanzos are my favorites with lentils!! gloria
ReplyDeleteI love these...they make a healthy snack.
ReplyDeletelove this! i make them with all sorts of spices. curry, tumeric, oregano, italian, u name it! :D
ReplyDeleteI love roasted chick peas, but have only made them once. I think they are such a fantastic side dish, and really so versatile:-) These look so wonderful, I can understand why they disappeared so quickly:-) Hugs, Terra
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you and your husband enjoyed them! They turned out really tasty looking. You reminded me that I need to make these again!
ReplyDeleteI make something similar with pea nuts and hubby goes crazy on those :) Will try your version too!
ReplyDeleteUnos garbanzos muy ricos.
ReplyDeleteSaludos
That looks and sounds SO good! And good for you.
ReplyDeleteI def want to try this. I love chickpeas and prefer curry w/them rather than any type of meat. I've never roasted them, though. This sounds great.
ReplyDeleteLove roasted chickpeas, I use 5 spice powder but love this recipe. Dare I say my favorite recipe of yours? Thanks for this.
ReplyDeleteI've seen that recipe too, Rebecca, but I have a son who is allergic to chick peas! Will have to make this when he isn't around!
ReplyDeleteI recently tried to make this and while they photographed pretty well, they tasted bleh. I think I used too much oil. Gonna give yours a try next :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I think my husband would love them!
ReplyDeletehaven't seen chickpeas like this before but looks great!
