Chickpeas are a great snack and if you are following a plant-based diet, they are a great source of protein. You can make these spicy or non spicy (just remove the cayenne from the recipe). I prefer using dry chickpeas instead of canned as they seem to turn out crispy and the flavour is amazing.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup dried chickpeas

• 3 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• 1 tablespoon sea salt

• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne

• 1/4 teaspoon cumin ground

Directions:

Rinse and soak chickpeas in water for 24 hours. Dry chickpeas on a paper towel till completely dry.

Bake on a baking sheet at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add olive oil, lemon juice and the rest of the spices. Mix well. Bake again for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Switch off the oven an let the chickpeas cool off in the oven for another 10-20 minutes.

You should have crispy , crunchy chickpeas!! Serve as a topper on salad or just as a snack.

Enjoy!
