Spicy Roasted Chickpeas

I have been seeing variations of this oven roasted spicy chickpeas around for a while. It took me until just a few months ago to actually try it for myself. Honestly, I didn’t have very high hopes, but I was pleasantly surprised by this snack.

Something that I didn’t feel disturbed appetites before dinner or filled stomachs with empty calories. I never mind fueling the body with extra servings of things that are good for them.

I also loved that these spicy chickpeas were also Madeline approved, which was possibly the most pleasant surprise of all.

Tips for Making Spicy Chickpeas

If you like things really spicy, add up to 1/2 teaspoon of chipotle powder to these roasted chickpeas. You could also add a pinch of cayenne if you’re brave.

Be sure to stir the oven roasted chickpeas once or twice while they’re baking, otherwise they may burn on one side.

Also note that these spicy chickpeas crisp up as they cool. So don’t panic if they seem too soft when you first take them out of the oven.
