Crunchy Garbanzo

roasted_chickpeas 004

Ingredients:
  • 1.5 cups chickpeas ( use canned or the dry variety)
  • Oil
  • Salt
  • Red chilli powder
  • turmeric
  • Lemon juice
Method:
  • I used the dried variety and so soaked the beans overnight. Pressure cooked them the next day until they are soft but not mushy.
  • If using the canned ones then skip the previous step.
  • Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Drain the water and blot chickpeas with a paper towel/towel to remove the moisture. 
  • Take a bowl and toss chickpeas with oil, salt, chilli powder, turmeric. Make sure it is evenly coated.
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking oil.
  • Spread the chickpeas on the sheet and place it in the oven to bake.
  • After 20 minutes or so, take it out toss around and spread some lemon juice over it.
  • Continue to bake for another 15-20 minutes. During the last 5-10 minutes keep a close watch so that they do not get burned.
  • Take it out of the oven and allow cooling. After cooling it gets a good amount of crunch.
