Roasted Chickpeas

I've got an interesting snack for you today.  I have seen recipes for this floating around on the internet and thought I needed to give it a try.  These have a very satisfying crunch!  I like that you can season them in whatever flavor sounds best to you and add as much or as little salt as you like.  This is definitely a great, healthy snack!

Roasted Chickpeas

1 can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
Olive oil
Seasonings

Drain and rinse chickpeas.  Lay them on a paper towel to dry.  Pinch them to remove the skin.  (This takes a while, but it's kinda fun!)  Pat them dry.  Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet.  Drizzle with oil and roll them around so they're all covered.  Roast at 400 for about 35 minutes.  Remove from the oven and pour them into a bowl.  Season to taste.  I added salt, garlic and onion powders, basil and oregano.  You could also do a Mexican spice blend with chili, onion and garlic powders, cumin and dried cilantro.  It's all up to you!
