    I don't have a recipe as such... I just take 2 cans of chickpeas, you need to try and drain and dry them off as much as you can first, apparently it helps them get crispy. I heat up some olive oil in an oven tray in a hot oven (fan bake is best as it helps them crisp) then add the chickpeas with some cajun seasoning. I just roast them until they're getting brown and crispy. They're really tasty, and they're not bad the next day or so but best the day you've made them as they don't retain their crunch. I couldn't tell you the nutritional info off-hand but if you put it into MFP as a recipe it shouldn't be hard to work out. :)

    This recipe has been sitting on my counter for a few weeks, patiently waiting its turn:

    Note: I have never made this recipe, so i don't know what tweaks could/should be made... If you do make some, please post back with tweaks that you think work :)


    :devil: Spicy Crunchy Chickpeas :devil:

    2 Tbsp olive oil
    1 tsp cinnamon
    1 tsp cumin
    1 tsp allspice
    1 tsp sea salt
    1/2 tsp pepper
    2 15oz cans chickpeas, rinsed, drained, thoroughly patted dry

    for added heat: add a generous pinch of chili or cayenne powder with the spice mixture.

    Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, cinnamon, cumin, allspice, salt and pepper. Add chickpeas and toss to coat throroughly. Turn chickepeas out onto baking sheet and roast, stirring or shaking baking sheet often, until chickpeas are browned and crunchy, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool before serving, stirring occasionally.

    ** note: this is the nutritional analysis printed with the recipe. I would double-check the calculations with the specific ingredients/quantities that you use. Because i have not yet made this recipe, i don't know what tweaks/cutbacks could be made without sacrificing taste.
