Spicy Roasted Chickpeas

"Channa" has been a savoury snacking option in my house for as long as I can remember thanks to my mother's South American heritage. This healthy snack has a spicy kick to it and makes for a guilt-free alternative to bombay mix and a change from nuts, if they're your go-to snacking option.

Three great health benefits: beneficial for heart health, good source of fibre, good source of plant-based protein

Makes 1 small jar

Ingredients:

1 x 400g tin chickpeas, drained

3/4 tsp cumin

3/4 tsp ground coriander

3/4 tsp hot chilli powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 & 1/2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

Salt & pepper

Method: 

1) Preheat oven to 200 degrees C.

2) Pat the chickpeas dry using paper towels (you can even do this step the night before to really ensure that the chickpeas are dry). 

3) Place the chickpeas in a bowl, along with the spices, olive oil and salt & pepper. Mix together then pour onto a baking tray, making sure that the chickpeas are spread out in a single layer

4) Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, rotating the chickpeas halfway through the cooking time.
