Crispy Curry Chickpeas

Chickpeas are a health-packed legume with so many possibilities in the kitchen! This flavorful crunchy snack makes the perfect replacement for croutons on a salad, topping on a hummus, you name it.

Ingredients

• 1 15 oz. can chickpeas (a.k.a. garbanzo beans)
• 1 tbsp. Avocado oil
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 1/2 tsp. curry powder
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne or crushed red pepper (optional)

Instructions

1. Drain and rinse chickpeas. Lay out on a towel and thoroughly pat dry, removing any loose skins.
2. Toss in a bowl with oil, salt, and seasonings.
3. Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F for about 30 minutes (or until crunchy). They'll crisp up a little more as they cool.

Notes

These crispy chickpeas will lose their crunch if stored airtight, so we recommend finishing them off with no leftovers!
