Roasted chickpeas are no news to the foodie world. However, my first few attempts were disastrous.\u00a0I tried them several times, with canned and home-cooked chickpeas. And ended up with some chewy, rubber-like and by no means crunchy balls. Simply because I didn’t roast them long enough. A few recipes in the Internet call for 20 minutes roasting time. I must have seen only these recipes and couldn’t quite figure out what went wrong. As I never had roasted chickpeas before, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. But chewy didn’t feel right, it tasted horrible.<\/div>\n

Fast forward a year or so: by coincidence I came across a recipe for roasted chickpeas that call for 40-50 minutes roasting time. Now we are talking. My first few attempts were huge hits with my family, each batch was munched up within a very short time. The seasoning can be any combination of herbs and spices. For now, spicy\u00a0 is our favorite. A hearty combination of cumin, paprika and cayenne pepper. A no-guilt snack that munches away as quickly as crisps.
